Log On
Note: Ordinarily I would rationalize my denominators, but in this case, it will be convenient to leave the radical in the denominator as it will simplify the arithmetic later.
Hence
Then since
it follows that
But
Hence
Then use the double-angle formulas and the fact that
Just plug in the values and do the indicated arithmetic.

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
