Solution by Jober Gimeno:

  • Given cos36=(1+(5)^½)/4
    cos30=(3)^½/2
    Find cos3
    cos(36-30)=cos36cos30+sin36sin30
    =[(1+(5)^½)/4][(3)^½/2]+[(1²-[(1+(5)½)/4]²]^½[1/2]
    ={[(3)^½+(15)^½]/8}+
    {[10-2(5)^½]^½}/8
    cos6={(3)^½+(15)^½+[10-2(5)^½]^½}/8
    Using Half Angle Formula:
    cos½(6)={[1+cos6]/2}^½
    ={[1+{1+{(3)^½+(15)^½+[10-2(5)^½]^½}/8]/2}^½
    ={8+(3)^½+(15)^½+[10-2(5)^½]^½}^½/4
    Ang gulo nang sag0t q. . .
    nauna aq jan sa lahat ng nagpost..
    alam q n ung sag0t saturday night pa lamang. .
    ala lang aq time mag internet. .
