Question 180080: This is probably a really dumb question, but can you please help me to understand how sin 210(degrees) = -1/2 and cos 135 (degrees) = 1/square root of 2?
I'm having a hard time trying to justify these problems and I'm sure it's just something really simple that I'm missing. When trying to find the exact value of the above expressions, do I draw a rough sketch of the angle, or do I just use the standard 30, 60, 90 degree triangle to find the ratio? Thanks!
