The cosine of an angle is the x-coordinate of the point where its terminal ray intersects the unit circle. So, we can draw a line at x=-1/2 and see where it intersects the unit circle. That will tell us possible values of θ/2.
We find that vertical line intersects the unit circle at points where the rays make an angle of ±120° with the positive x-axis. If you consider only positive angles, these angles are 120° = 2π/3 radians, or 240° = 4π/3 radians. Since these are values of θ/2, the corresponding values of θ are double these values.
a) The cosine values repeat every 2π, so the general form of the smallest angle will be
... θ = 2(2π/3 + 2kπ) = 4π/3 + 4kπ
b) Similarly, the values repeat for the larger angle every 2π, so the general form of that is
... θ = 2(4π/3 + 2kπ) = 8π/3 + 4kπ
c) Using these expressions with k=0, 1, 2, we get
... θ = {4π/3, 8π/3, 16π/3, 20π/3, 28π/3, 32π/3}
3 1/4
should be it!
Hope that helps!
The square on the hypotenuse is skew and impossible to visually validate. There's nothing to sum. It is a simple calculation to note that <span><span><span>32</span>+<span>42</span>=<span>52</span></span><span><span>32</span>+<span>42</span>=<span>52</span></span></span><span>, but its picture doesn't 'say' that the angle between the 3 and 4 sided square must be 90 degrees.
