Are there any helpful constellations of 2 angles or sin/cos of the same angle, as in "sin(60) + cos(30) = 1"? Yeah, sin(90) + cos(0) = 1 and vice versa, but apart from that?

I know sin, cos and tan rules, I'm just looking for easier equation solving when calculating forces, where you constantly have huge equations.

 

Thanks in advance!

The examples that you gave can be generalized to:  sin(x)  =  cos(90° - x).
