Trigonometric Ratio of Submultiple of an Angle

 

Trigonometric Ratio of θ in terms of θ/2 
\begin{aligned} \sin ( \theta) &=2 \sin \frac{\theta}{2} \cos \frac{\theta}{2} \\&=\frac{2\tan\frac{\theta}{2}}{1+\tan^2\frac{\theta}{2}} \\\cos ( \theta) &=\cos ^{2} \frac{\theta}{2}-\sin ^{2} \frac{\theta}{2} \\ &=1-2 \sin ^{2} \frac{\theta}{2} \\ &=2 \cos ^{2} \frac{\theta}{2}-1\\&=\frac{1-\tan^2\frac{\theta}{2}}{1+\tan^2\frac{\theta}{2}} \\ \tan ( \theta) &=\frac{2 \tan \frac{\theta}{2}}{1-\tan ^{2} \frac{\theta}{2}} \end{aligned}
