Sine and cosine table

This is the most unusual table of sines and cosines. The idea to make such a table came to me in the process of writing these articles:

I strongly recommend that you read these articles. Then you will know how easy it is to calculate the values of sine and cosine yourself. I made one sine and cosine table from these three articles.

Sine and cosine table in degrees. sin and cos 0, 30, 45, 60, 90 degrees. The most unusual table of sines and cosines. Mathematics For Blondes.
Sine and cosine table


The table indicates which sides of the triangle to take as a unit. For 0 and 90 degrees, triangles do not exist, these are ordinary segments.

The third column of the table shows how to use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the desired value of the sine or cosine. For a cosine of 30 degrees and a sine of 60 degrees, the calculations are the same.

At the bottom of the table there are hints on how to calculate the tangent and cotangent values if you know the sine and cosine values. If you forgot how to divide one fraction by another, use one more hint. You need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
