Lemme give you an example that might reveal the answer to you,$$\Large\sf \sin(60^o)=\cos(30^o)$$

30 and 60 are what?
Complimentary?
Supplementary?
..?

anonymous · Answer

simple minded way to see it

$$\cos(\beta)=\frac{a}{h}=\sin(\alpha)$$

zepdrix · Answer

So someone spilled the beans already. :)
30 and 60 and `complimentary` angles.

I was trying to show that the cofunctions(sine/cosine) of `complimentary` angles are equal to one another.

Able to make sense of this?
