Usually you can get the sine or cosine of an angle from a calculator very quickly. However, many calculators won't tell you that the result, which is about 0.707, is exactly 1 / square root of 2, or the equivalent square root of 2 / 2.

What is the cot of a 45 degree angle?

1 cot(theta)=cos(theta)/sin(theta) cos(45 degrees)=sqrt(2)/2 AND sin(45 degrees)=sqrt(2)/2 cot(45 deg)=cos(45 deg)/sin(deg)=(sqrt(2)/2)/(sqrt(2)/2)=1

Find out value of sin 45 cos 45 - sin 230?

Assuming that the angles are all stated in degrees: sin(45) = cos(45) = 1/2 sqrt(2) sin(45) cos(45) = (1/2)2 x (2) = 1/2 sin(230) = - 0.7660444 sin(45) cos(45) - sin(230) = 0.5 + 0.7660444 = 1.2660444 (rounded)


Cos 45 degrees equals sin?

cos(45) = sin(45) You can see this as follows: imagine a circle with radius 1. The point on the circle with angle 45 degrees, lies on the line y=x, equally far from the x-axis (cos) as the y-axis (sin). The angle for both must be 45, because x and y are orthogonal: 90 deg, so if the angle with x is 45, then the angle with y must be 90-45=45. So: for this point, both angles are 45, and the distance to x (cos) is equal to the distance to y (sin). Therefore, cos(45) = sin(45). Additionally, cos(45) = sin(45+90) = sin(45+360n) = sin(135+360n) with n integer.


What is cos 495 degree's?

cos(495) = cos(495-360) = cos(135) = -cos(180-135) = -cos(45) = -sqrt(1/2) or -1/sqrt(2)


Why does cos negative theta equals positive theta?

You must think of the unit circle. negative theta is in either radians or degrees and represents a specific area on the unit circle. Remember the unit circle is also like a coordinate plane and cos is the x while sin is the y coordinate. Here is an example: cos(-45): The cos of negative 45 degrees is pi/4 and cos(45) is also pi/4

How do you solve sin x plus cos x equals zero?

The statement of the problem is equivalent to sin x = - cos x. This is true for x = 135 degrees and x = -45 degrees, and also for (135 + 180n) degrees, where n is any integer.


Is the cosine sine and tangent of an angle equal to each other?

No; those could be three different values, or sometimes two of them might be the same. For example, if the angle is 45 degrees, the values are about... cos:0.707 sin: 0.707 tan: 1 For 45 degrees, the cosine and sine are the same. For 36 degrees, cos:0.809 sin: 0.588 tan: .727
