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 \(\sqrt{5} – 1\over 4\). We have, \(cos 2\theta\) = \(1 – 2 sin^2 \theta\) \(\therefore\) cos 36 = 1 – \(2 sin^2 18\) \(\implies\) cos 36 = 1 – 2\(({\sqrt{5} – …
