Theorem
Sine of Supplementary Angle
- $\map \sin {\pi - \theta} = \sin \theta$
where $\sin$ denotes sine.
That is, the sine of an angle equals its supplement.
Cosine of Supplementary Angle
- $\map \cos {\pi - \theta} = -\cos \theta$
where $\cos$ denotes cosine.
That is, the cosine of an angle is the negative of its supplement.
