OpenStudy (diamondboy):

is dat ur question

Yes

Really I Did it like this but I didnt know how to contrinue I did like this( √3/2)^2 + (- 1/2)^2= 3/2 + 1/4

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

( √3/2)^2 will turn into 3/4 you square both the √3 and the 2 down below

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

3/4 + 1/4 = 4/4 = 1
