Explanation

To solve the expression \( \cos^2\left(\frac{\pi}{11}\right) + \cos^2\left(\frac{2\pi}{11}\right) + \cos^2\left(\frac{3\pi}{11}\right) + \cos^2\left(\frac{4\pi}{11}\right) + \cos^2\left(\frac{5\pi}{11}\right) \), we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Use the identity for \( \cos^2 \theta \)
We know that:
\[ \cos^2 \theta = \frac{1 + \cos(2\theta)}{2} \]
Using this identity, we can rewrite each term in the expression:
\[ \cos^2\left(\frac{k\pi}{11}\right) = \frac{1 + \cos\left(\frac{2k\pi}{11}\right)}{2} \]
for \( k = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 \).

### Step 2: Substitute into the expression
Substituting this into our expression, we have:
\[ \sum_{k=1}^{5} \cos^2\left(\frac{k\pi}{11}\right) = \sum_{k=1}^{5} \frac{1 + \cos\left(\frac{2k\pi}{11}\right)}{2} \]
This simplifies to:
\[ \frac{1}{2} \sum_{k=1}^{5} (1 + \cos\left(\frac{2k\pi}{11}\right)) = \frac{1}{2} \left( 5 + \sum_{k=1}^{5} \cos\left(\frac{2k\pi}{11}\right) \right) \]

### Step 3: Calculate the sum of cosines
Now we need to calculate \( \sum_{k=1}^{5} \cos\left(\frac{2k\pi}{11}\right) \). This is a sum of cosines in an arithmetic progression. We can use the formula for the sum of cosines:
\[ \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} \cos(a + kd) = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{nd}{2}\right) \cos\left(a + \frac{(n-1)d}{2}\right)}{\sin\left(\frac{d}{2}\right)} \]
In our case, \( a = \frac{2\pi}{11} \), \( d = \frac{2\pi}{11} \), and \( n = 5 \):
\[ \sum_{k=1}^{5} \cos\left(\frac{2k\pi}{11}\right) = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{5 \cdot \frac{2\pi}{11}}{2}\right) \cos\left(\frac{2\pi}{11} + \frac{(5-1)\cdot \frac{2\pi}{11}}{2}\right)}{\sin\left(\frac{\frac{2\pi}{11}}{2}\right)} \]
This simplifies to:
\[ \sum_{k=1}^{5} \cos\left(\frac{2k\pi}{11}\right) = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{5\pi}{11}\right) \cos\left(\frac{6\pi}{11}\right)}{\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{11}\right)} \]

### Step 4: Substitute back into the expression
Now we substitute this back into our expression:
\[ \sum_{k=1}^{5} \cos^2\left(\frac{k\pi}{11}\right) = \frac{1}{2} \left( 5 + \frac{\sin\left(\frac{5\pi}{11}\right) \cos\left(\frac{6\pi}{11}\right)}{\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{11}\right)} \right) \]

### Step 5: Simplify and find the final value
After simplification, we find that the value of the expression is:
\[ \frac{9}{4} \]
Thus, in the form \( \frac{p}{q} \), we have \( p = 9 \) and \( q = 4 \).

### Final Step: Calculate \( p + q \)
Finally, we compute:
\[ p + q = 9 + 4 = 13 \]
