If a right-angled triangle has two acute angles (each of which measures less than 90), then why is there a value for sin, cos, tan of obtuse angles (which are greater than 90)?​

Explanation:

Because in this situation you have 2 ways to solve it

  • Use angel without any change to get sin

But in this case you can't so we have another solution

Subtract angel from 360 it will give you result with negative or different results

If you have angel 100

The sin maybe equal sin100 or sin 360-100
