What is the Value of Cos 36 Degrees ?
Solution : The value of cos 36 degrees is \(\sqrt{5} + 1\over 4\). Proof : We know that the value sin 18 degrees is \(\sqrt{5} โ 1\over 4\). We have, \(cos 2\theta\) = \(1 โ 2 sin^2 \theta\) \(\therefore\)ย ย cos 36 = 1 โ \(2 sin^2 18\) \(\implies\)ย cos 36 = 1 โ 2\(({\sqrt{5} โ โฆ
