The values of tan are limitless (that is to say, within [-inf, inf]). However, sin and cos ratios are between -1 and 1. Think about it: sin = opposite/hypotenuse. Since hypotenuse is always larger than or equal to opposite, sin must always be less than 1. Same with cos.

When adding two fractions that are both less than one half what must be true of the sum?

When adding two fractions that are both less than one half, the sum will always be less than one. Specifically, if both fractions are positive, their sum will be less than one because the maximum possible value for the sum is one half plus one half, which equals one. Therefore, the sum of two fractions each less than one half will be less than one.


Why sinθ value is less then and equal to one?

If you look at the definition of the sine function in a triangle, you'll discover that the maximum possible value of the sine function is ' 1 ' and the minimum possible value is ' -1 '. There's no angle that can have a sine greater than ' 1 ' or less than ' -1 '. So the absolute value of the sine of anything is always ' 1 ' or less.
