Q02. Special value for angle is 30 degrees
Let angle A = 30 and angle C = 90
Geometric theory
The opposite side of angle A is 1,
The Hypothese is 2 (Geometric theory).
Hence Adjacent of angle A is Sqr(2^2 - 1) = Sqr(3)
The values of the ratios are
sin(30) = Opp/Hyp = 1/2.
cos(30) = Adj/Hyp = Sqr(3)/2.
Tan(30) = Opp/Adj = 1/Sqr(3) = Sqr(3)/3.
csc(30) = Hyp/Opp = 2.
sec(30) = Hyp/Adj = 2/Sqr(3) = 2*Sqr(3)/3.
cot(30) = Adj/Opp = Sqr(3).

Q03. Special value for angle is 45 degrees
Let angle A = 45 and angle C = 90
Geometric theory
The opposite side of angle A is 1
The adjacent side is also 1.
Hence hypothese Sqr(1^2 + 1^2) = Sqr(2)
The values of the ratios are
sin(45) = Opp/Hyp = Sqr(2)/2.
cos(45) = Adj/Hyp = Sqr(2)/2.
Tan(45) = Opp/Adj = 1.
csc(45) = Hyp/Opp = 2/Sqr(2) = Sqr(2).
sec(45) = Hyp/Adj = 2/Sqr(2) = Sqr(2).
cot(45) = Adj/Opp = 1.
Go to Begin
Q04. Special value for angle is 60 degrees
Let angle A = 60 and angle C = 90
Geometric theory
If hypothese is 2, then adjacent side of A is 1.
Hence Oppsite side of angle A is Sqr(2^2 - 1) = Sqr(3)
The values of the ratios are
sin(60) = Opp/Hyp = Sqr(3)/2.
cos(60) = Adj/Hyp = 1/2.
Tan(60) = Opp/Adj = 1/Sqr(3) = Sqr(3)/3.
csc(60) = Hyp/Opp = 2/Sqr(3) = 2*Sqr(3)/3..
sec(60) = Hyp/Adj = 2.
cot(60) = Adj/Opp = 1/Sqr(3) = Sqr(3)/3.

Q05. Prove opposite side of angle 30 is half of hypothese
Construction
Let mid point of AC is E
Let mid point of AB is F
Solution
Let angle BAC = 30 degrees
EF parallel to BC (Mid point theory)
Hence EF bisects AC
Hence AF = FC
Hence angle ECF = 30 dgrees
Hence angle BCF = angle CFB = FBC
Hence BC = BF = AB/2
