Solution
1. Since A+B+C=π, hence tan(2A+B)=tan(2C)1.
From the identity tan(2A+B)+tan(2C)=343, we can derive that tan(2C)1+tan(2C)=343.
Solving the equation gives tan(2C)=3 or tan(2C)=33.
Since C∈(0,π), we find C=3π or C=32π.
Given that sinB⋅sinC=cos2(2A), we have sinB⋅sinC=21(1+cosA)=21(1−cos(B+C)).
Thus 2sinB⋅sinC=1−(cosB⋅cosC−sinB⋅sinC), which gives cos(B−C)=1.
Hence, we conclude B=C.
So B=C=3π. The solution B=C=32π is rejected because it does not satisfy the condition in the problem.
Therefore, A=π−B−C=3π.
Putting it all together, we have A=B=C=3π.
2. Using the results from part (1) and the given conditions, we have C=3π, hence A+B=32π.
Therefore, sinA+sinB=sinA+sin(32π−A).
This simplifies to sinA+23cosA+21sinA=23sinA+23cosA.
Next, we can write this as 3sin(A+6π).
Since A∈(0,32π), it follows that (A+6π)∈(6π,65π).
Hence, sin(A+6π)∈(21,1].
Thus, the range of values for sinA+sinB is (23,3].
