Formula to be applied : cosA+cosB= 2cos(A+B/2).cos(A-B/2)
cos40+cos80+cos120= 2cos(80+40/2).cos(80-40/2) + cos(160)
=2cos(180/2).cos(40/2) + cos(160)
=2cos(60).cos(20) +cos(160)
= 2(1/2). cos(20) + cos(160) [Since cos(60)=1/2]
=cos(20) + cos(160)
=2cos(160+20/2).cos(160-20/2)
=2cos(90).cos(70) [Since cos(90)=0]
=0
