Double Angle Formula Calculator — precise domain-aware calculation.

Formula

With θ in degrees: sin(2θ) = 2sinθcosθ; cos(2θ) = cos²θ − sin²θ; tan(2θ) = sin(2θ)/cos(2θ), defined only when cos(2θ) ≠ 0.
  • Double Angle Formula Calculator evaluates the double-angle trigonometric identities with the indicated inputs. With θ in degrees: sin(2θ) = 2sinθcosθ; cos(2θ) = cos²θ − sin²θ; tan(2θ) = sin(2θ)/cos(2θ), defined only when cos(2θ) ≠ 0. Results are conditional on the stated domain; no general-purpose equation solver is implied.
  • The main inputs are Angle. Enter them in the units and format shown in the calculator.
  • Keep comparable quantities in compatible units whenever the formula combines or compares them.
  • Changing any input above recalculates the result with the same calculation engine used by this page.

Inputs
  • Angle: 30 deg

For θ = 30°: sin(2θ) ≈ 0.8660254038, cos(2θ) = 0.5 and tan(2θ) ≈ 1.7320508076. At θ = 45°, tan(2θ) is undefined.
