Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 5

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(A, B, C\) are angles of a triangle. \[ \begin{aligned} & \therefore A+B+C=180^{\circ} \Rightarrow A+B=180^{\circ}-C \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \frac{A+B}{2}=90^{\circ}-\frac{C}{2} \end{aligned} \] Now, \(\cos A+\cos B+\cos C\)…
