Half Angles Formulas
Next you do same,change, flip. . . multiply the bottom and the top by 1/2 so that you get:

I recommend this one when using tan.
, lies in quadrant III.
Solve for:
Because we are given the tangent we can easily find the cosine-which will help us solve for the problems above.
By using pythagorean we can find the missing side (hypotenuse).
To solve, first find the correct equation to use:
Plug in -15/17 for cosine theta. . .
Make 1=17/17 so that you can add. . .
Next you do same,change, flip. . . multiply the bottom and the top by 1/2 so that you get:
