    We report measurements of sin2β and cos2β using a time-dependent Dalitz plot analysis of B0 → D ( * ) h0 with D → KS0π+π- decays, where the light unflavored and neutral hadron h0 is a π0 , η , or ω meson. The analysis uses a combination of the final data sets of the B a B ar and Belle experiments containing 471×106 and 772×106 B B ¯ pairs collected at the Υ ( 4S ) resonance at the asymmetric-energy B factories PEP-II at SLAC and KEKB at KEK, respectively. We measure sin2β=0.80±0.14 ( stat ) ±0.06 ( syst ) ±0.03 ( model ) and cos2β=0.91±0.22 ( stat ) ±0.09 ( syst ) ±0.07 ( model ) . The result for the direct measurement of the angle is β= ( 22.5±4.4 ( stat ) ±1.2 ( syst ) ±0.6 ( model ) ) ° . The last quoted uncertainties are due to the composition of the D0 → KS0π+π- decay amplitude model, which is newly established by a Dalitz plot amplitude analysis of a high-statistics e+e- → c c ¯ data sample as part of this analysis. We find the first evidence for cos2β>0 at the level of 3.7 standard deviations. The measurement excludes the trigonometric multifold solution π / 2-β= ( 68.1±0.7 ) ° at the level of 7.3 standard deviations and therefore resolves an ambiguity in the determination of the apex of the CKM Unitarity Triangle. The hypothesis of β=0° is ruled out at the level of 5.1 standard deviations, and thus CP violation is observed in B0 → D ( * ) h0 decays. The measurement assumes no direct CP violation in B0 → D ( * ) h0 decays.
