3.1.2 Quadrants and angles
Complementary angles

sin (90\u00b0 \u2013 \u03b8) = cos \u03b8,
cos (90\u00b0 \u2013 \u03b8) = sin \u03b8,
tan (90\u00b0\u2013 \u03b8) = 1/ tan \u03b8 = cot \u03b8

Positve angles in all four quadrants

sin\u03b8 = sin (180\u00b0 -\u03b8) = - sin (180\u00b0+\u03b8) = - sin (360\u00b0 -\u03b8)
cos\u03b8= - cos (180\u00b0 - \u03b8) = - cos (180\u00b0+ \u03b8) = cos (360\u00b0 - \u03b8)
tan\u03b8= - tan (180\u00b0 - \u03b8) = tan (180\u00b0+ \u03b8) = - tan (360\u00b0 - \u03b8)

\u03c0 rad = 180\u00b0

Negative angles in all four quadrants
sin \u03b8 = - sin (-\u03b8) = -sin [-(180\u00b0 -\u03b8)] = sin [-(180\u00b0 +\u03b8)] = sin [-(360\u00b0 -\u03b8)]
cos \u03b8 = cos (-\u03b8) = - cos [-(180\u00b0 -\u03b8)] = - cos [-(180\u00b0 +\u03b8)] = cos [-(360\u00b0 -\u03b8)]
tan\u03b8 = - tan (-\u03b8) = tan [-(180\u00b0 -\u03b8)] = - tan [-(180\u00b0 +\u03b8)] = tan [-(360\u00b0 -\u03b8)]
