The formula cos ( 180 - 30 ) = - cos 30 would present the sole challenge. If we keep in mind the formula, this is simple to see
cos ( 180 - 30 ) = cos 180 cos 30 + s e n 180 s e n 30 = - 1 · 1 2 + 0 · 2 2 = - cos 30 = - 1 2

Explanation: sec 150 = 1 cos 150
So
cos 150 = - cos ( 180 - 150 )
cos 30 = 3 2
sec 150 = 1 - 3 2
Thus,
= - 2 3 = - 2 3 3
