find the measure of the vertex anlge of an isosceles triangle if the measure of one base angle is 36°

1 answer:

5 0

Because it is an isosceles triangle, the two base angles have to be the same, so
36°+36°=72°
angles in all triangles add up to 180°, so
180°-72°=108°
unknown=108°

True
<span>There is some disagreement whether parallelograms, which have two pairs of parallel sides, should be regarded as trapezoids. Some define a trapezoid as a quadrilateral having only one pair of parallel sides (the exclusive definition), thereby excluding parallelograms.</span>

Find the exact value of cot(15degrees) using half angle formulas?

liubo4ka [24]

Double angle (or half angle, depending how you look at it) identities:

$\cos^2\dfrac x2=\dfrac{1+\cos x}2$

$\sin^2\dfrac x2=\dfrac{1-\cos x}2$

$\implies\cot^2\dfrac x2=\dfrac{\cos^2\frac x2}{\sin^2\frac x2}=\dfrac{1+\cos x}{1-\cos x}$

So we have

$\cot^215^\circ=\dfrac{1+\cos30^\circ}{1-\cos30^\circ}=\dfrac{1+\frac{\sqrt3}2}{1-\frac{\sqrt3}2}$

$\implies\cot^215^\circ=7+4\sqrt3$

$\implies\cot15^\circ=\sqrt{7+4\sqrt3}=2+\sqrt3$

Note that when taking the square root, we should take into account that that could yield two possible solutions, but we know $\cos15^\circ>0$ and $\sin15^\circ>0$ , so it's also the case that $\cot15^\circ>0$ .
