Answer

True

Work Step by Step

Since the period of cosine is $2\pi$ it follows: $\cos(2\pi+\frac{\pi}{7})=\cos(\frac{\pi}{7})$ $\cos^{2}(2\pi+\frac{\pi}{7})=\cos^{2}(\frac{\pi}{7})$ so: Replace $\cos^{2}\left(2\pi+\frac{\pi}{7})\right)$ by $\cos^2\left(\frac{\pi}{7}\right)$ in the expression: $\sin^{2}(\frac{\pi}{7})+\cos^{2}(2\pi+\frac{\pi}{7})=\sin^{2}(\frac{\pi}{7})+\cos^{2}(\frac{\pi}{7})$. Use the Pythagoreic identity: $\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta=1$ $\sin^{2}(\frac{\pi}{7})+\cos^{2}(\frac{\pi}{7})=1$ The given equation is true.
