Answer:

solved

Step-by-step explanation:

cos 20° cos 40° cos 80º = 8sin20° cos 20° cos 40° cos 80º ÷ 8sin20°

= 4*2 sin 20° cos 20° cos 40° cos 80º ÷ 8sin20°

= 4 sin 40° cos 40° cos 80º ÷ 8sin20°

= 2*2 sin 40° cos 40° cos 80º ÷ 8sin20°

=  2 sin  80° cos 80º ÷ 8sin20°

=   sin  160º ÷ 8sin20°

=  sin 20º ÷ 8sin20°

= 1/8

Other solution :

we can use the identity

4 cos x.cos(60+x).cos(60-x) ≡ cos3x

cosx.cos(60+x).cos(60-x) ≡ cos3x/4

let x = 20

cos 20° cos 40° cos 80º = cos 60° ÷ 4 = 1/2÷4 = 1/8
