See the formulas for sine, cosine and tangent, and an example of using them to simplify an expression.

We can find approximations of the trigonometric functions for small angles measured in radians by considering their graphs near input values of π‘₯ = 0.

When we were able to derive until the part where $n \lambda =a \sin(\theta)$, we need to apply small angle approximation and get to $n \lambda =a \tan(\theta)$.
