Answer:

[tex]cos \frac{\theta}{2}= 0.894[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

[tex]cos\ \theta= \frac35[/tex]

We need to find [tex]cos \ \frac{\theta}{2}[/tex]

Solution:

[tex]cos\ \theta= \frac35[/tex]

First we will find the value of [tex]\theta[/tex].

Now taking [tex]cos^{-1}[/tex] on both side we get;

[tex]\theta= cos^{-1} \ \frac{3}{5}\\\\\theta = 53.13[/tex]

Now we will find the [tex]\frac{\theta}{2}[/tex].

[tex]\frac{\theta}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{53.13}{2} = 26.565[/tex]

Now we will find [tex]cos \ \frac{\theta}{2}[/tex] we get;

[tex]cos \frac{\theta}{2}=cos\ 26.565 = 0.894[/tex]

Hence [tex]cos \frac{\theta}{2}= 0.894[/tex].
