Answer

Please refer to the step-by-step part below.

Work Step by Step

Use the identity $\sin(\alpha+\beta)=\sin(\alpha)\cos(\beta)+\cos(\alpha)\sin(\beta)$ to obtain: $\sin(\frac{\pi}{2}+\theta) \\=\sin(\frac{\pi}{2})\cos(\theta)+\sin(\theta)\cos(\frac{\pi}{2}) \\=1\cdot \cos(\theta)+0\cdot \sin(\theta) \\=\cos(\theta)+0 \\=\cos{\theta}$
