SOLUTION: Please can you tell me why do these angles equal to the same? Why do these patterns occur? Sin 10`= Cos 90` , Sin20`=cos80`,sin90`/cos90`=tan 90 both of which is an error?

Also why does sin^2(10)+cos^2(10)=1,sin^2(23)+cos^2(23)=1,sin^2(35)+cos^2(35)=1
Can you explain why all the answers equals to 1? Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Your reference angles are not correct.

or in general in the first quadrant (0

The angles and corresponding reference angles have the property that the points they represent are reflected about the line which has the property that swap x and y coordinates.

It does so because,
for any given x by definition.
The sine and cosine function are built off of a unit circle, a circle with a radius of 1 centered at (0,0).
The cosine measures the x position on the circle.
The sine measures the y position on the circle.
The distance formula measures the distance from (x,y) to the center but since it's a circle the distance is always equal to the radius, 1.
So,
