cos36.cos72.cos108.cos144
= cos36.cos(90-18).cos(90+18).cos(180-36)                    
    {As Cos(90-x) = sin(x)   , cos(180-x)=(-cosx)  &  Cos(90+x)=(-sinx)}
= cos36.sin18.(-sin18).(-cos36)
=cos236.sin218
=\left \{ \right.(\sqrt5 -1) / 4\left. \right \} \left \{ \right.(\sqrt5 +1) / 4\left. \right \} \left \{ \right.(\sqrt5 -1) / 4\left. \right \} \left \{ \right.(\sqrt5 +1) / 4\left. \right \}
= \left \{ 5^2 - 1^2 / 16 \left. \right \} \right.  \left \{ 5^2 - 1^2 / 16 \left. \right \} \right.
=( 24 x 24 ) / (16 x 16 ) 
= 9/4
