If angle θ is 135°, evaluate cosθ

A.

1/2

B.

√2/2

C.

−√2/2

D.

−1/2

Correct Answer: −√2/2

Explanation

θ = 135° Cos 135o = Cos(90 + 45)o = cos90ocos45° - sin90osin45° = 0cos45° - (1 x √2/2) = −√2/2

θ = 135° Cos 135o = Cos(90 + 45)o = cos90ocos45° - sin90osin45° = 0cos45° - (1 x √2/2) = −√2/2
