Question
What is the value of
cos75°?Solution
cos75o = cos(45 + 30)o Since, cos(A + B) = cosAcosB – sinAsinB So, cos 75o = cos45ocos30o – sin45osin30o = {(1/√2) × (√3/2) – (1/√2) × (1/2)} = (√3/2√2) – (1/2√2) = (1/2√2) × (√3 – 1) On multiplying both numerator and denominator by √2, we have; = (√2/4) × (√3 – 1)
