Formula
tan2Theta = 2*tanTheta/(1 - tanTheta^2); sin2Theta = 2*tanTheta/(1 + tanTheta^2); cos2Theta = (1 - tanTheta^2)/(1 + tanTheta^2)
Where:
- tanTheta=tanTheta
Worked Examples
tanθ = 0.5
Evaluate all double-angle terms from tangent.
- 1tan2Theta = 2(0.5)/(1-0.25)
- 2sin2Theta = 2(0.5)/(1+0.25)
- 3cos2Theta = (1-0.25)/(1+0.25)
tanθ = 0.2
Small-angle tangent input.
- 1Apply identity formulas directly
- 2Round all outputs
tanθ = -0.4
Negative tangent value.
- 1Compute denominator 1-tan²θ
- 2Evaluate three expressions
Introduction
This calculator derives double-angle values from tanθ only, useful when tangent is known but sine and cosine are not explicitly given.
Formula and Method
Double Angle Identities Calculator uses: tan2Theta = 2*tanTheta/(1 - tanTheta^2); sin2Theta = 2*tanTheta/(1 + tanTheta^2); cos2Theta = (1 - tanTheta^2)/(1 + tanTheta^2)

Validation Rules
Input validation is applied before calculation to prevent invalid math states.
tanTheta must be finite.
tanTheta cannot be ±1 because tan(2θ) is undefined there.
Outputs are rounded to 6 decimals.
The implementation assumes first-quadrant reconstruction for sinθ and cosθ.
