    Did you know that...
    The probability that a random rational number has an even denominator is 1/3 (Salamin and Gosper 1972)? This result is independently verified by me (2002)!

    !

    let

    sin a =4/5
    tg b=4/5

    cos(a+b)= cos a cos b - sin a sin b

    sin a = 4/5 => cos a = 3/4

    sin b = 4/5 cos b
    sin ^2 b + cos^2 b = 16/25 cos^2 b + cos^2 b =1

    41/25 cos^2 b= 1

    cos^2 b= 25/41

    .

    .

    etc.
