Trigonometry hand trick

           Trigonometry Hand tricks 1) take sinA to thumb side and cosA to little finger side. 2)angles on fingers               Thumb=0°                Index finger=30°                Middle finger=45°                Ring funger = 60°                Little ginger=90° 3) fold that finger of which you want to find the value. 4) take a square root of a fingers which remains of side to sinA & cosA and divide it by 2. 5)you get the values of sinA & cosA of 0°,30°,45°,60°and 90°. Example:-             1) value of sin60° & cos60°     ...
