Correct answer: B
- Rewrite each factor using a standard identity
We use because
So the expression becomes
Since cosine is periodic with period , Hence
- Use the identity
A very useful identity is This follows from
=\sin\frac{x}{2}(\cos x+2\cos x)=\sin\frac{x}{2}(1+2\cos x).$$ Applying it to each factor: - For $x=18^\circ$: $$1+2\cos 18^\circ=\frac{\sin 27^\circ}{\sin 9^\circ}.$$ - For $x=54^\circ$: $$1+2\cos 54^\circ=\frac{\sin 81^\circ}{\sin 27^\circ}.$$ - For $x=162^\circ$: $$1+2\cos 162^\circ=\frac{\sin 243^\circ}{\sin 81^\circ}.$$ - For $x=126^\circ$: $$1+2\cos 126^\circ=\frac{\sin 189^\circ}{\sin 63^\circ}.$$ So $$E=36\cdot \frac{\sin 27^\circ}{\sin 9^\circ}\cdot \frac{\sin 81^\circ}{\sin 27^\circ}\cdot \frac{\sin 243^\circ}{\sin 81^\circ}\cdot \frac{\sin 189^\circ}{\sin 63^\circ}.$$ 3. **Simplify the sines** Use angle relations: $$\sin 243^\circ=\sin(180^\circ+63^\circ)=-\sin 63^\circ,$$ $$\sin 189^\circ=\sin(180^\circ+9^\circ)=-\sin 9^\circ.$$ Substitute: $$E=36\cdot \frac{\sin 27^\circ}{\sin 9^\circ}\cdot \frac{\sin 81^\circ}{\sin 27^\circ}\cdot \frac{-\sin 63^\circ}{\sin 81^\circ}\cdot \frac{-\sin 9^\circ}{\sin 63^\circ}.$$ Everything cancels telescopically: $$E=36.$$ 4. **Check options** - A: $18$ ❌ - B: $36$ ✅ - C: $54$ ❌ - D: $27$ ❌ Therefore, the correct answer is **Option B**.More from Trigonometric Ratio and Identites
