13. Which of the following can be used to prove that the two triangles are similar?http://oi50.tinypic.com/2prbthz.jpg SAA Similarity Theorem
First, split the angle into two angles where the values of the six trigonometric functions are known. In this case, 105, can be split into 45+60 (cos (45+60))
Use the sum formula for cosine to simplify the expression. The formula states that cos (A+B) = - (cos (A) cos (B) + sin (A) sin (B)).
The exact value of cos(60) is 1/2. So multiply 1/2 to cos (45) - sin (60) times sin (45).
The exact value of cos (45) is the square root of 2 over 2
(1/2) ⋅ (<span>√2/</span>2) - sin (60) <span>⋅ sin (45) </span> Value of sin (60) is <span>√3/2
