Formula
sin(2θ)=2sinθcosθ; cos(2θ)=cos²θ-sin²θ; tan(2θ)=sin(2θ)/cos(2θ)
Where:
- θ=Input angle in degrees(°)
Worked Examples
θ = 30°
Evaluate double-angle identities.
- 12θ = 60°
- 2sin(60°)=0.866025
- 3cos(60°)=0.5 and tan(60°)=1.732051
θ = 0°
Base-angle check.
- 12θ = 0°
- 2sin(0)=0
- 3cos(0)=1 and tan(0)=0
θ = 60°
Second-quadrant double angle.
- 12θ = 120°
- 2sin(120°)=0.866025
- 3cos(120°)=-0.5
Introduction
This calculator evaluates sin(2θ), cos(2θ), and tan(2θ) from an input angle in degrees.
Formula and Method
The Double Angle Calculator uses the core relation sin(2θ)=2sinθcosθ; cos(2θ)=cos²θ-sin²θ; tan(2θ)=sin(2θ)/cos(2θ).
Apply the formula directly to user inputs
Compute intermediate terms when needed
Round numeric outputs for stable display
Return structured outputs for UI rendering
Input Fields
Provide values for: thetaDegrees.
- 1
thetaDegrees: θ (degrees)
Output Fields

FAQs
What does the Double Angle Calculator compute?
It computes sin2Theta, cos2Theta, tan2Theta from the provided inputs.
Which inputs are required?
Required fields are thetaDegrees.
How are results rounded?
Numeric outputs are rounded by the calculation function (generally to about 6 decimal places) for cleaner display.
What if I enter invalid values?
θ must be a valid number. Results are rounded to 6 decimals.
Which output should I read first?
Start with sin2Theta, then use the remaining outputs for context and interpretation.
Can I use decimal values?
Yes. Decimal inputs are supported unless the calculator specifically requires integer-style values.
