1. Notice that 67 degrees, 30' is half of 135 degrees,
and 135 = 180-45

We also know that
cos 2A = 2 cos^2 A - 1
giving us
cos 135 = 2cos^2 67.5 - 1

So let's find cos 135
135 is in quadrant II, so
cos 135 = -sin 45 = -1/√2

back to cos 135 = 2cos^2 67.5 - 1
-1/√2 = 2cos^2 67.5 - 1
1 - 1/√2 = 2cos^2 67.5
(√2-1)/(2√2) = cos^2 67.5
cos 67.5 = √[(√2-1)/(2√2)]
(my calculator confirmed my answer to be correct

Using the other version of
cos 2A = 1 - 2sin^2 A -1 and following the above steps will give you the sin 67.5

you then find tan 67.5 by sin67.5/cos67.5 using the expressions.

Enjoy the algebra, lol
