cos(50)cos(20)+sin(50)sin(20)

cos (5 0^{\circ}) cos (2 0^{\circ}) + sin (5 0^{\circ}) sin (2 0^{\circ})

\frac{3}{2}

Decimal Notation

0.86602 \dots

Solution steps

cos (5 0^{\circ}) cos (2 0^{\circ}) + sin (5 0^{\circ}) sin (2 0^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

cos (3 0^{\circ})

cos (5 0^{\circ}) cos (2 0^{\circ}) + sin (5 0^{\circ}) sin (2 0^{\circ})

Use the Angle Difference identity:

cos (s) cos (t) + sin (s) sin (t) = cos (s - t)

= cos (5 0^{\circ} - 2 0^{\circ})

Simplify

= cos (3 0^{\circ})

= cos (3 0^{\circ})

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (3 0^{\circ}) = \frac{3}{2}

cos (3 0^{\circ})
