What is the Value of Cos 72 Degrees ?

Solution : The value of cos 72 degrees is \(\sqrt{5} โ€“ 1\over 4\). Proof : We know that value of sin 18 degrees is \(\sqrt{5} โ€“ 1\over 4\). Since 72 degree is the complement of 18 degree. \(\therefore\) cos 72 = cos(90 โ€“ 18) = sin 18 = \(\sqrt{5} โ€“ 1\over 4\) Hence, cos 72 โ€ฆ

What is the Value of Sin 72 Degrees ?

Solution : The value of sin 72 degrees is \(\sqrt{10 + 2\sqrt{5}}\over 4\). Proof : We know that value of cos 18 degrees is \(\sqrt{10 + 2\sqrt{5}}\over 4\). Since 72 degree is the complement of 18 degree. \(\therefore\) sin 72 = sin(90 โ€“ 18) = cos 18 = \(\sqrt{10 + 2\sqrt{5}}\over 4\) Hence, sin 72 โ€ฆ

What is the Value of Cos 18 Degrees ?

Solution : The value of cos 18 degrees is \(\sqrt{10 + 2\sqrt{5}}\over 4\). Proof : We know that the value of sin 18 degrees is \(\sqrt{5} โ€“ 1\over 4\). Putting \(\theta\) = 18 inย  \(cos \theta\) = \(\sqrt{1 โ€“ sin^2 \theta}\), we get cos 18 = \(\sqrt{1 โ€“ sin^2 18}\) = \(\sqrt{1 โ€“ ({\sqrt{5} โ€“ โ€ฆ

What is the Value of Sin 18 Degrees ?

Solution : The value of sin 18 degrees is \(\sqrt{5} โ€“ 1\over 4\). Proof :ย  Let \(\theta\) = 18 degrees. Then, \(5\theta\) = 90 degrees \(\implies\)ย  ย \(2\theta\) + \(3\theta\) = 90 \(\implies\)ย  ย \(2\theta\) = 90 โ€“ \(3\theta\) \(\implies\)ย  ย \(sin 2\theta\) = \(sin (90 โ€“ 3\theta)\) \(\implies\)ย  \(sin 2\theta\) = \(cos 3\theta\) By using the formula โ€ฆ
