The exact value of cos⁡ 112.5 is \bold{-\frac{\sqrt{(2-\sqrt{2})}}{2}= 0.3827531}

<u>Solution:</u>

Use half angle formula for Cos,

\begin{array}{l}{\cos \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)=\pm \sqrt{\frac{1+\cos x}{2}}} \\ {\cos 112.5=\cos \frac{225}{2}=-\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos 225}{2}} \quad(\text { equation } 1)}\end{array}

(Since cos 112.5 is in II quadrant ,negative sign is used)            

cos⁡  225 = cos⁡ (45+180)

cos ⁡(a+b) = cos a cos b+sin a sin⁡ b

cos ⁡(45+180) = cos 45 cos⁡ 180+ sin⁡ 45 sin ⁡180

\begin{array}{l}{\cos 45=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}} \\ \\ {\sin 45=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}\end{array}

cos⁡ 180 = -1  

sin⁡ 180 = 0

\begin{array}{l}{\cos (45+180)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}(-1)+\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}(0)} \\\\ {\cos (45+180)=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}+0} \\\\ {\cos (45+180)=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}(\text { equation } 2)}\end{array}

apply equation 2 in equation 1

\begin{array}{l}{\cos \frac{225}{2}=-\sqrt{\frac{1+\left(-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)}{2}}=-\sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}{2}}=-\sqrt{\frac{2-\sqrt{2}}{2}}=-\sqrt{\frac{2-\sqrt{2}}{4}}} \\ {\cos \frac{225}{2}=-\frac{\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}}}{2}} \\ {\cos 112.5=-\frac{\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}}}{2}}=0.3827531\end{array}

If pqrs is a square solve for x what do I do?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Properties of a square,

1). Diagonal of a square bisect the opposite angles.

2). All interior angles of a square measure 90°.

From these properties,

m∠PQR = 90°

Since, diagonal QS bisects angle PQR,

m∠PQS = m∠RQS = 45°

(6x - 21)° = 45°

6x = 45 + 21

6x = 66

x = 11

Find the sum of 2.5+3.03
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer: 5.53


Step-by-step explanation:

this is a straight forward addition

2.5+3.03 =5.53

to be clear or to specify, use the decimal point to make the sum:

2.5 = 2 + 0.5       and 3.03 = 3 + 0.03

2+3= 5      and  0.5 + 0.03 = 0.53

5 + 0.53 = 5.53 (but this is to long just to make it clear)
