Answer #1

Solution:

The values provided in the questions are cos(40o).

let

= cos(40o)

By using double angle identity

cos(40o) = cos(2*20o) ---------------------->1

we know that formula

cos(2x) = 1 - 2sin2(x) -------------------->2 { x =20o }

substitute eqation 2 formula into equation 1

cos(40o) = cos(2*20o) = 1 - 2sin2(20)

= 1 - 2*0.3420*0.3420

= 1 - 0.2339

cos(40o).   = 0.76607
