Concept/skill: 
Prove the addition and subtraction formulas for sine, cosine, and tangent and use them to solve problems.

Problem/activity:
Find the general solution for:
$${\mathrm{cos}\left({\pi\over2}+x\right)=\mathrm{tan}{\pi\over4}}$$


Answer: 
Yes. An initial step when solving for x in this problem requires the use of the addition formula for cosine on the left side of the equation.

Now, determine whether the following problem or activity can enable students to understand the concepts or skills in the provided description.

standard_description: Give an informal argument for the formulas for the circumference of a circle, area of a circle, volume of a cylinder, pyramid, and cone. Use dissection arguments, Cavalieri’s principle, and informal limit arguments.
problem_activity: Task
The goal of this task is to explain why the area enclosed by a circle $C$ of radius $r$ is
$\pi r^2$.  Recall that $\pi$ is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter and that this ratio is independent of the size of the circle.
Draw a picture of a regular octagon $O$ inscribed in $C$.  Find  a formula for the area of the octagon in terms of its perimeter.
Reasoning as in part (a), find a formula for the area of a regular $n$ sided polygon, for $n \geq 3$, inscribed in $C$: the formula should give the area of the polygon  in terms of  its perimeter.
Using your formula from part (b), explain why the area of $C$ is $\pi r^2$.
