Calculate sin75, cos22deg30min

To calculate sin 75, we'll write 75 as the sum of 2
angles:


75 = 30 + 45


We'll
apply sine function both sides:


sin 75 = sin
(30+45)


To calculate sin (30+45), we'll apply the
formula:


sin (a+b) = sin a*cos b + sin b*cos
a


We'll put a = 30 and b =
45


sin (30+45) = sin 30*cos 45 + sin 45*cos
30


We'll substitute sin 30; sin 45; cos 30; cos 45 by their
values:


sin 30 = 1/2


cos 30 =
sqrt3/2


sin 45 = cos 45 =
 sqrt2/2


sin (30+45) = (1/2)*(sqrt2/2) +
(sqrt2/2)*(sqrt3/2)


We'll factorize by
(sqrt2/2):


sin (30+45) =
(sqrt2/2)[(1+sqrt3)/2]


sin (30+45) =
sqrt2*(1+sqrt3)/4


sin 75 =
sqrt2*(1+sqrt3)/4


To calculate
cos22deg30min, we'll write the formula for teh
half-angle:


cos (a/2) = sqrt [(1+cos
a)/2]


We'll put a =
22deg30min


2a = 2*22deg30min = 22deg30min + 22deg30min =
44deg + 1deg = 45 degrees


cos22deg30min = sqrt [(1+cos
45)/2]


cos22deg30min = sqrt [(1 +
sqrt2/2)/2]


cos22deg30min =
sqrt(2+sqrt2)/2

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
