Trigonometric Ratio of 30, 45, and 60 degrees

FINDING THE TRIGONOMETRY FUNCTIONS VALUES OF 300 and 600
To find the value of the trigonometry function that corresponds to 300 and 600, let consider the equilateral triangle above with side of length 2. Let the median from one vertex to the opposite side bisects the angle at that vertex as shown above.
By the Pythagorean Theorem, the side opposite 600 in the right triangle has the length root  3. Using the formulas for trigonometric function of an acute angle of a right triangle, we obtain the values corresponding to 300 and 600 as follows:


FINDING THE TRIGONOMETRY FUNCTIONS VALUES OF 450



To find the value of the trigonometry function that corresponds to 450, let consider an isosceles right triangle whose two equal sides has length 1 as shown above. By the Pythagorean Theorem, the length of hypotenuse is root 2. Hence the values corresponding to 450 are as follows:
