Trigonometric constants expressed in real radicals in a regular polygon: a vertex, an edge center containing that vertex, and the polygon center. An "n"-gon can be divided into 2"n" right triangles with angles of , 90 − , 90} degrees, for "n" in 3, 4, 5, … Constructibility of 3, 4, 5, and 15-sided polygons are the basis, and angle bisectors allow multiples of two to also be derived. In degree format, sin and cos of 0, 30, 45, 60, and 90 can be calculated from their right angled triangles, using the Pythagorean theorem. In radian format, sin and cos of / 2 can be expressed
Special right triangle than 256: Isosceles right-angled triangles cannot have sides with integer values, because the ratio of the hypotenuse to either other side is , but cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers. However, infinitely many "almost-isosceles" right triangles do exist. These are right-angled triangles with integral sides for which the lengths of the non-hypotenuse edges differ by one. Such almost-isosceles right-angled triangles can be obtained recursively, "a" is length of hypotenuse, "n" = 1, 2, 3, ... Equivalently, where {"x", "y"} are the solutions to the Pell equation , with the hypotenuse "y" being the odd terms of the
