Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the double angle identity for sine

sin2x = 2sinxcosx

Consider left side

cos20°cos40°cos80°

= $\frac{1}{2sin20}$ (2sin20°cos20°)cos40°cos80°

= $\frac{1}{4sin20}$ (2sin40°cos40°)cos80°

= $\frac{1}{4sin20}$ (sin80°cos80° )

= $\frac{1}{8sin20}$ (2sin80°cos80° )

= $\frac{1}{8sin20}$ . sin160°

= $\frac{1}{8sin20}$ . sin(180 - 20)°

= $\frac{1}{8sin20}$ . sin20°

= $\frac{1}{8}$ = right side , thus proven

Simplify (−6.5)(2)(−5).

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

65 is the answer,I just put it into a calculator,but all that really is is multiplying,a negative times a negative equals a positive so you would take -6.5×2=-13
-13×-5=65
