Solve cos(π/4) = √2/2

Method: spezieller Winkel (Bogenmaß). Verified step-by-step solution with our free AI math solver.
Problem

cos(π4)\cos\bigl(\tfrac{\pi}{4}\bigr)

Step-by-step solution

  1. π4\frac{\pi}{4} Bogenmaß =45°= 45°.

  2. Am Einheitskreis bei 45°45° ist die x-Koordinate 22\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}.

  3. Der Kosinus ist gleich der x-Koordinate: cos(π4)=22\cos\bigl(\tfrac{\pi}{4}\bigr) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}.

Answer

cos(π4)=22\cos\bigl(\tfrac{\pi}{4}\bigr) = \tfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}
