cos(180/7) cos(720/7) cos(900 /7 )
=cos(pi/7) cos((4pi)/7) cos((5pi) /7 )

=cos(pi/7) cos((5pi)/7) cos((4pi) /7 )

=cos(pi/7) cos(pi-(2pi)/7) cos((4pi) /7 )

=-(8sin(pi/7)cos(pi/7) cos((2pi)/7)cos((4pi) /7 ))/(8sin(pi/7))

=-(4sin((2pi)/7)cos((2pi)/7)cos((4pi) /7 ))/(8sin(pi/7))

=-(2sin((4pi)/7)cos((4pi) /7 ))/(8sin(pi/7))

=-(sin((8pi)/7))/(8sin(pi/7))

=-(sin(pi+pi/7))/(8sin(pi/7))

=(sin(pi/7))/(8sin(pi/7))

=1/8
