For

9 0^{\circ} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

5

9 0^{\circ} = \frac{18 0 ^{\circ} 5}{2 \cdot 5} = 9 0^{\circ}

For

7 2^{\circ} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

2

7 2^{\circ} = \frac{36 0 ^{\circ} 2}{5 \cdot 2} = 7 2^{\circ}

= 9 0^{\circ} - 7 2^{\circ}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{18 0 ^{\circ} 5 - 72 0 ^{\circ}}{10}

Add similar elements:

90 0^{\circ} - 72 0^{\circ} = 18 0^{\circ}

= 1 8^{\circ}

Use the Half Angle identity:

cos (\frac{θ}{2}) = \frac{1 + cos ( θ )}{2}

Use the Double Angle identity

cos (2 θ) = 2 cos^{2} (θ) - 1

Substitute

θ

with

\frac{θ}{2}

cos (θ) = 2 cos^{2} (\frac{θ}{2}) - 1

Switch sides

2 cos^{2} (\frac{θ}{2}) = 1 + cos (θ)

Divide both sides by

2

cos^{2} (\frac{θ}{2}) = \frac{( 1 + cos ( θ ) )}{2}

\frac{1}{2} = sin (5 4^{\circ}) - sin (1 8^{\circ})

sin (5 4^{\circ}) = cos (9 0^{\circ} - 5 4^{\circ})

\frac{1}{2} = cos (9 0^{\circ} - 5 4^{\circ}) - sin (1 8^{\circ})

\frac{1}{2} = cos (3 6^{\circ}) - sin (1 8^{\circ})

Show that:

cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ}) = \frac{5}{4}

Use the factorization rule:

Use the following identity:

sin (x) = cos (9 0^{\circ} - x)

cos (9 0^{\circ} - 7 2^{\circ}) = 4 sin (1 8^{\circ}) cos (3 6^{\circ}) cos (1 8^{\circ})

cos (1 8^{\circ}) = 4 sin (1 8^{\circ}) cos (3 6^{\circ}) cos (1 8^{\circ})

Substitute

cos (3 6^{\circ}) - sin (1 8^{\circ}) = \frac{1}{2}

(cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ}))^{2} - (\frac{1}{2})^{2} = 1

Refine

(cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ}))^{2} - \frac{1}{4} = 1

Add

\frac{1}{4}

to both sides

(cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ}))^{2} - \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = 1 + \frac{1}{4}

Refine

(cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ}))^{2} = \frac{5}{4}

Take the square root of both sides

cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ}) = \pm \frac{5}{4}

cos (3 6^{\circ})

cannot be negative

sin (1 8^{\circ})

cannot be negative

cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ}) = \frac{5}{4}
