The sine of 30 degrees is 1/2. What is the cosine of 60 degrees?


Sagot :

Answer:

Sine (30°) = cosine(90-30) = cos(60°) = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the [tex]cos 60^0[/tex] is [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex].

Recall the relationship between the sine and cosine

[tex]cos^2\theta= 1-sin^2\theta\\cos 2\theta = cos^2\theta - sin^2\theta[/tex]

How to find the cosine values?

Given the value of [tex]sin30^0[/tex] is [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex].

Use the relation between the sine and cosine as-

[tex]\cos^230^0=1-\sin^230^0\\=1-\dfrac{1}{4}\\=\dfrac{3}{4}\\[/tex]

Use another relation [tex]\cos 2\theta = \cos^2\theta -\sin^2\theta[/tex] as-

[tex]\cos(2\times 30^0)=\cos^2{30^0}-\sin^2{30^0}\\=\dfrac{3}{4}-\dfrac{1}{4}\\=\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

Hence, [tex]\cos 60^0[/tex]  is value is [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex].
