    This document discusses trigonometric angle values for pi/8 in terms of radicals. It expresses the sine, cosine, and tangent of pi/8 as square roots of expressions containing 2. It then checks if the square roots can be simplified and finds that the square root of 2/2 can be simplified to 1/√2.

    Now, checking to see if the square root can be simplified gives

    (15)

    which is not a perfect square, so the above expression cannot be


    simplified. Similarly,

    (17)

    (18)

    (19)

    But

    (20)

    is a perfect square, so we can find

    (21)

    Rewrite the above as
