Given:

To find:
The exact value of cos 15°.
Solution:

Using half-angle identity:


Using the trigonometric identity: 

Let us first solve the fraction in the numerator.

Using fraction rule: 

Apply radical rule: ![\sqrt[n]{\frac{a}{b}}=\frac{\sqrt[n]{a}}{\sqrt[n]{b}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7Ba%7D%7Bb%7D%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Ba%7D%7D%7B%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bb%7D%7D)

Using
:


I´d say "d" is the distance from the eye to the wall.
Now substracting 1.2-1 you´ll get the distance of the wall of the smallest triangle = 0.2 And you do 1.5-0.2= 0.3 that´s the distance of the wall of the other triangle. Then you solve everything with Pitagoras theorem. You have 2 rectangle triangles.
B+alfa=45°
tan^-1(0.2/d)=B
tan^-1(1.3/d)=alfa
THEN:
tan^-1(0.2/d)+tan^-1(1.3/d)=45°
Now you have 3 ecs and 3 variables.
alfa,B and "d"
You did it right. 1.35 + 7.00 and you have the right answer. is that what you mean?
Smaller number = X
Larger Number = X + 17
47 = X + (X+17)
47 = 2x + 17
47 - 17 = 2x
30 = 2x
X = 15
