cosA + cosB = 2[cos(A + B)/2][cos(A - B)/2]
i.e. (1/2)(cosA + cosB) = [cos(A + B)/2][cos(A - B)/2]
=> cos20cos100 = (1/2)(cos120 + cos80)
=> cos100cos140 = (1/2)(cos240 + cos40)
=> -cos140cos200 = -(1/2)(cos340 + cos60)
=> (1/2)[cos120 + cos80 + cos240 + cos40 – cos340 – cos60]
=> (1/2)[-1/2 + cos80 – 1/2 + cos40 – cos340 – 1/2]
=> (1/2)[-3/2 + cos80 + cos40 – cos340]
=> (1/2)[-3/2 + 2cos60cos20 – cos340]
=> (1/2)[-3/2 + cos20 – cos340]
=> (1/2)[-3/2 + cos20 – cos(-20)]
So, (1/2)(-3/2) = -3/4
