= (1 + cos π/8)(1 + cos 3π/8)(1 - cos 3π/8)(1 - cos π/8), since cos(π - t) = -cos t
= (1 - cos² π/8)(1 - cos² 3π/8)
= (1 - cos² π/8)(1 - sin² π/8), via cos(π/2 - t) = sin t
= (1 - cos² π/8)(1 - sin² π/8)
= sin ^2 π/8 cos ^2 π/8
= (1/4) (2 sin π/8 cos π/8)²
= (1/4) (sin 2π/8)², by double angle formula
= (1/4) (sin π/4)²
= (1/4) (1/√2)²
= (1/4)(1/2)
= 1/8.
