Re: Trigonometric sum

hi jacks,

Yes, I got that value to, just by calculation in Excel.  But I guess you want an analysis of how to get this by algebra etc.  I've been working on this, on and off,  for two days and haven't got a method yet.  My first attempt was to try and simplify the trig. using various trig. identities.  Just went round in circles with that.  Then I made a diagram with a 14 point polygon inscribed in a circle, and tried to find a method using the distances in right angled triangles plus similar triangles, angles in semi circle etc.  I think that is the way to go with this, but a solution still alludes me.  If I still cannot get anywhere by the end of today, I'll post my diagram.  Maybe someone else can spot what I'm missing.  sad
