Theorem
- $\map \cos {\dfrac \pi 2 - \theta} = \sin \theta$
Proof
\(\ds \map \cos {\frac \pi 2 - \theta}\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \map \cos {\theta - \frac \pi 2}\) | Cosine Function is Even | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \map \sin {\theta - \frac \pi 2 + \frac \pi 2}\) | Sine of Angle plus Right Angle | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \sin \theta\) |
