sin(x) = cos(pi/2 - x). Thus sine is simply a horizontal translation of the cosine function.
NB: angles are measured in radians.

to find the measure of an angle. EX: if sin A = 0.1234, then inv sin (0.1234) will give you the measure of angle A
Sine sum identity: sin (x + y) = (sin x)(cos y) + (cos x)(sin y)Sine difference identity: sin (x - y) = (sin x)(cos y) - (cos x)(sin y)Cosine sum identity: cos (x + y) = (cos x)(cos y) - (sin x)(sin y)Cosine difference identity: cos (x - y) = (cos x)(cos y) + (sin x)(sin y)Tangent sum identity: tan (x + y) = [(tan x) + (tan y)]/[1 - (tan x)(tan y)]Tangent difference identity: tan (x - y) = [(tan x) - (tan y)]/[1 + (tan x)(tan y)]
Cos is short for 'Cosine' / It is the complementary curve to 'Sine'.
It is cosine*cosine*cosine.
