Why do the values of sin and cos follow such a pattern:

sin(0)=(√0)/2 sin(π/6)=(√1)/2 sin(π/4)=(√2)/2 sin(π/3)=(√3)/2 sin(π/2)=(√4)/2   cos(0)=(√4)/2cos(π/6)=(√3)/2cos(π/4)=(√2)/2cos(π/3)=(√1)/2cos(π/2)=(√0)/2   Why do they follow this pattern?... more

what is the significance between cos(45) being equal to sqrt(0.5)

I was messing with a calculator and found that the square root of 0.5 is equal to the sine and cosine of 45. I was just wondering the correlation between the two equations.
