  1. A \(2 \sin \frac{\pi}{5}\)
  2. B \(2 \cos \frac{\pi}{5}\)
  3. C \(\cos \frac{\pi}{5}\)
  4. D \(\sin \frac{\pi}{5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2 \cos \frac{\pi}{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(a=\) side of pentagon \(b=\) diagonal of regular pentagon \( \begin{aligned} & \angle A C B=\frac{3 \pi}{5} \\ & \angle A C D=\frac{3 \pi}{10} \text { and } \angle C A D=\frac{\pi}{5} \end{aligned} \) In \(\triangle A C D\),…
