Take an equilateral triangle with sides , say a, and draw a perpendicular to the base from opposite vertex. The angles of each of the triangles are 30,60, 90 with sides a, a/2 and
(
Explanation:
Now cos 30 = {(
sin 30 = (a/2)/a = 1/2 etc.
sin 60 = cos 30 =
For trigonometric functions of 90, we consider a unit circle and proceed.
