2. Exact trigonometric values - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_trigonometric_values

   The values of sine and cosine of 30 and 60 degrees are derived by analysis of the equilateral triangle. In an equilateral triangle, the 3 angles are equal and sum to 180°, therefore each corner angle is 60°. Bisecting one corner, the special right triangle with angles 30-60-90 is obtained.

3. List of trigonometric identities - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_trigonometric...

   A formula for computing the trigonometric identities for the one-third angle exists, but it requires finding the zeroes of the cubic equation 4x 3 − 3x + d = 0, where is the value of the cosine function at the one-third angle and d is the known value of the cosine function at the full angle.

4. Trigonometric tables - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometric_tables

   These two starting trigonometric values are usually computed using existing library functions (but could also be found e.g. by employing Newton's method in the complex plane to solve for the primitive root of z N − 1). This method would produce an exact table in exact arithmetic, but has errors in finite-precision floating-point arithmetic

5. Trigonometric functions - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometric_functions

   Basis of trigonometry: if two right triangles have equal acute angles, they are similar, so their corresponding side lengths are proportional.. In mathematics, the trigonometric functions (also called circular functions, angle functions or goniometric functions) [1] are real functions which relate an angle of a right-angled triangle to ratios of two side lengths.

6. Tangent half-angle formula - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangent_half-angle_formula

   Thus each of these angles has a rational value for its half-angle tangent, using tan φ/2 = sin φ / (1 + cos φ). The reverse is also true. If there are two positive angles that sum to 90°, each with a rational half-angle tangent, and the third angle is a right angle then a triangle with these interior angles can be scaled to a Pythagorean ...

7. Mnemonics in trigonometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mnemonics_in_trigonometry

   Signs of trigonometric functions in each quadrant. All Students Take Calculus is a mnemonic for the sign of each trigonometric functions in each quadrant of the plane. The letters ASTC signify which of the trigonometric functions are positive, starting in the top right 1st quadrant and moving counterclockwise through quadrants 2 to 4.

8. Small-angle approximation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-angle_approximation

   In astronomy, the angular size or angle subtended by the image of a distant object is often only a few arcseconds (denoted by the symbol ″), so it is well suited to the small angle approximation. [7] The linear size (D) is related to the angular size (X) and the distance from the observer (d) by the simple formula:

9. Proofs of trigonometric identities - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proofs_of_trigonometric...

   For the sine function, we can handle other values. If θ > π /2, then θ > 1. But sin θ ≤ 1 (because of the Pythagorean identity), so sin θ < θ. So we have ⁡ < <. For negative values of θ we have, by the symmetry of the sine function
