    A formula for computing the trigonometric identities for the one-third angle exists, but it requires finding the zeroes of the cubic equation 4x 3 − 3x + d = 0, where is the value of the cosine function at the one-third angle and d is the known value of the cosine function at the full angle.

    For the sine function, we can handle other values. If θ > π /2, then θ > 1. But sin θ ≤ 1 (because of the Pythagorean identity), so sin θ < θ. So we have ⁡ < <. For negative values of θ we have, by the symmetry of the sine function

    By the periodicity identities we can say if the formula is true for −π < θ ≤ π then it is true for all real θ. Next we prove the identity in the range ⁠ π / 2 ⁠ < θ ≤ π. To do this we let t = θ − ⁠ π / 2 ⁠, t will now be in the range 0 < t ≤ π/2. We can then make use of squared versions of some basic shift identities ...

    The red section on the right, d, is the difference between the lengths of the hypotenuse, H, and the adjacent side, A.As is shown, H and A are almost the same length, meaning cos θ is close to 1 and ⁠ θ 2 / 2 ⁠ helps trim the red away.

    The real part of the other side is a polynomial in cos x and sin x, in which all powers of sin x are even and thus replaceable through the identity cos 2 x + sin 2 x = 1. By the same reasoning, sin nx is the imaginary part of the polynomial, in which all powers of sin x are odd and thus, if one factor of sin x is factored out, the remaining ...

    The analog of the Pythagorean trigonometric identity holds: [2] ⁡ + ⁡ = If X is a diagonal matrix, sin X and cos X are also diagonal matrices with (sin X) nn = sin(X nn) and (cos X) nn = cos(X nn), that is, they can be calculated by simply taking the sines or cosines of the matrices's diagonal components.

    Visual proof of the Pythagorean identity: for any angle , the point (,) = (⁡, ⁡) lies on the unit circle, which satisfies the equation + =.Thus, ⁡ + ⁡ =. In mathematics, an identity is an equality relating one mathematical expression A to another mathematical expression B, such that A and B (which might contain some variables) produce the same value for all values of the variables ...

    Similarly / = is a constructible angle because 12 is a power of two (4) times a Fermat prime (3). But π / 9 = 20 ∘ {\displaystyle \pi /9=20^{\circ }} is not a constructible angle, since 9 = 33 {\displaystyle 9=3\cdot 3} is not the product of distinct Fermat primes as it contains 3 as a factor twice, and neither is π / 7 ≈ 25.714 ∘ ...
