To demonstrate that the value of the sine, cosine and tangent depends on the angle "b", let's study the three examples at the bottom of the figure. We are only going to discuss the sin(b) in these examples, but there are similar discussions for the cosine and tangent.

Now consider the angle CBA. Let's call it the angle of slope. It's tangent is CA/BC = m/1 = m. Therefore, the slope is the tangent of the angle of slope.

Tangent half-angle formula - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In various applications of trigonometry, it is useful to rewrite the trigonometric functions (such as sine and cosine) in terms of rational functions of a new variable t . These identities are known...

You need to convert the angle to radians before calling the appropriate method. Since 360 degrees = 2 pi radians, multiplying the angle by PI/180 will give you the appropriate value to pass along to the trig function.

Suppose we know lengths of the two sides of triangle that is connected at a right angle: ... If tan q is 0.67, then the inverse of tangent (tan-1) of 0.67 gives us q:
