MCQ
$\cos 15^\circ = $
  • $\sqrt {\frac{{1 + \cos 30^\circ }}{2}} $
  • B
    $\sqrt {\frac{{1 - \cos 30^\circ }}{2}}$
  • C
    $ \pm \sqrt {\frac{{1 + \cos 30^\circ }}{2}} $
  • D
    $ \pm \sqrt {\frac{{1 - \cos 30^\circ }}{2}} $

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\sqrt {\frac{{1 + \cos 30^\circ }}{2}} $
a
(a) $\cos {15^o} = \sqrt {\frac{{1 + \cos (2 \times {{15}^o})}}{2}} $

$= \sqrt {\frac{{1 + \cos {{30}^o}}}{2}} $ .$\left( {\,\,\,\,\because \cos {{15}^o} > 0} \right)$
