Half Angles θ 2 2t 1 – t2 If tan = t, then tan θ = tan 2A = 2 tan A Proof Let θ = 2A 2 tan θ 2 1 - tan2 so A = θ 2 tan θ = = 2t 1 – t2 End of Slide
Half Angles θ 2 2t 1 + t2 If tan = t, then sin θ = tan = t = t 1 θ 2 Proof θ 2 1+t2 t sin 2A = 2 sin A cos A 1 Let θ = 2A θ 2 sin θ = 2 sin cos so A = θ 2 1+t2 t 1+t2 1 = 2t 1 + t2 = 2 x x End of Slide
