Using the polar coordinates for a circle, we get the following relation:
2 2 2
x y =r where r = radius
Polar coordinates of the circle are:
x=acos , y=bsin
For a circle a=b=r , giving:
2 2
cos sin =1
Thus, the following relationships hold:
1−sin 2 =cos 2
1−cos 2 =sin 2

2. Triangular relationships
Given a triangle abc, with angles A, B, and C, where a is opposite to A, b
is opposite to B, and c is opposite to C:
