Half Angle Calculator

The half angle calculator helps you find the exact values of all trigonometric identities of the half-angle such as sin, cos, and tan.

Enter the θ angle in degrees and press the button to convert it into radian. You will be able to see the Sin(θ/2), Cos(θ/2), and Tan(θ/2) of the half angle.

You can also click the show steps button to see how these values were calculated.

• Half angle formula of sin: sin A/2 = ±√[(1 – cos A) / 2]
• Half angle formula of cos: cos A/2 = ±√[(1 + cos A) / 2]
• Half angle formula of tan: tan A/2 = ±√[1 – cos A] / 1 + cos A sin A / (1 + cos A) (or) (1 – cos A) / sin A.
