I would use
$$\sqrt{\cos 70^{\circ}}>\sqrt{\cos 75^{\circ}}$$
and
$$\sqrt{\sin 70^{\circ}}>\sqrt{\sin 60^{\circ}}$$
If
$$\sqrt{\cos 75^{\circ}}+\sqrt{\sin 60^{\circ}}>1$$
then
$$\sqrt{\cos 70^{\circ}}+\sqrt{\sin 70^{\circ}}>1$$
by transitivity. Lastly $75^{\circ}=45^{\circ}+30^{\circ}$

👏 , thanks

I would just say that :

  1. (sinφ)² + (cosφ)² = 1
  2. When you square a number that's on interval (0;1), you make it smaller, so √sinφ will be bigger than sinφ.
#

Thats all you need to prove that.

#

So this mathematical equation is true for any angle φ:
√sinφ + √cosφ > 1

I would suggest you to do

#

AM greather than GM

#

Arithmetic Mean and Geometric mean

#

sin40 lies between 0 and 1

#

to its 1/4th power

#

will increase it

#

hence we can conclude

#

the Left hand side is greater than one

if I am wrong, I want somebody to correct me
