Theorem
- $\map \cos {\dfrac \pi 2 - \theta} = \sin \theta$
Proof
\(\ds \map \cos {\frac \pi 2 - \theta}\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \cos \frac \pi 2 \cos \theta + \sin \frac \pi 2 \sin \theta\) | Cosine of Difference | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds 0 \times \cos \theta + 1 \times \sin \theta\) | Cosine of Right Angle and Sine of Right Angle | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \sin \theta\) |
