Answer:

The mean, because the data distribution is symmetrical.

Step-by-step explanation:

Without even knowing the mean or median this can be solved. The data isn't skewed to the left nor right, so it is symmetrical. The mean is the central value of numbers so it should represent the center well.

CosA + cosB - cosC = -1 + 4cosA/2 cosB/2 sinC/2

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(cos A+ cos B)-cos C

$=2cos \frac{A+B}{2}cos \frac{A-B}{2}-cos C~~~...(1)\\A+B+C=180\\A+B=180-C\\\frac{A+B}{2}=90-\frac{C}{2}\\cos \frac{A+B}{2}=cos(90-\frac{C}{2})=sin \frac{C}{2}\\cos C=1-2sin^2\frac{C}{2}\\(1)=2 sin \frac{C}{2} cos \frac{A-B}{2}-1+2sin^2\frac{C}2}\\=2sin\frac{C}{2}[cos \frac{A-B}{2}+sin \frac{C}{2}]-1~~~...(2)\\\\now~again~A+B+C=180\\C=180-(A+B)\\sin\frac{C}{2}=sin(90-\frac{A+B}{2})=cos \frac{A+B}{2}\\(2)=2sin\frac {C}{2}[cos \frac{A-B}{2}+cos \frac{A+B}{2}]-1\\$

$=-1+2sin\frac{C}{2}*2cos \frac{\frac{A-B}{2} +\frac{A+B}{2} }{2} cos \frac{\frac{A-B}{2} -\frac{A+B}{2} }{2} \\=-1+4sin\frac{C}{2} cos \frac{A}{2} cos\frac{-B}{2} \\=-1+4 cos \frac{A}{2} cos \frac{B}{2} sin \frac{C}{2}\\(cos(-B)=cos B)$
