LHS = 4cos12cos48cos72
= 2 ( 2 cos 12cos48) cos 72
= 2 ( cos 60 + cos 36 ) cos 72
= 2cos 72 ( cos 60 + cos 36)
= 2cos72cos60 + 2 cos72cos36
= 2 cos 72 * 1/2 + ( 2cos72 cos 36)
= cos 72 + cos 108 + cos 36
= cos 72 + cos ( 180 - 72) + cos 36
= cos 72 - cos 72 + cos 36
= cos 36
= RHS
= 2 ( 2 cos 12cos48) cos 72
= 2 ( cos 60 + cos 36 ) cos 72
= 2cos 72 ( cos 60 + cos 36)
= 2cos72cos60 + 2 cos72cos36
= 2 cos 72 * 1/2 + ( 2cos72 cos 36)
= cos 72 + cos 108 + cos 36
= cos 72 + cos ( 180 - 72) + cos 36
= cos 72 - cos 72 + cos 36
= cos 36
= RHS
