    Hello

    Use the addition formulas : 135 = 90 + 45

    and 225 = 180 + 45

    tan(π/2 + x) = -1/tan(x)

    sin(π + x) = - sin(x)

    you know that tan 45° = 1

    and that sin 45° = √2/2

    Hope it helped

    Bye !

    we can find the value of tan135 and sin225 by using calculator or by mathematical method,the mathematical method is that we can write the tan135=tan(180-45)=-tan45=-1 and the value of sin225 =sin(270-45)=-sin45=-0.7

    Its very easy. Just use formulae

    tan135=tan(180-45)=(tan 180-tan 45)/(1+tan180*tan45)=(0-1)/(1+0)=-1

    sin225=sin(270-45)=sin270 *cos45-cos270*sin45=-1/Root2=-0.70710678

    tan135 = tan( 90+ 45)

    = - tan45

    = -1 ANSWER========================================================================

    sin 225 = sin( 180+ 45)

    = - sin45

    = - 1/sqrt2 ANSWER

    use sum or difference of trigonometric functions

    tan 135 = tan (180 - 45)

    tan (180-45) = (tan 180 - tan 45) / (1 + tan 180 * tan 45)

    = (0 - 1) / (1 + 0 * 1)

    = -1 / 1

    = -1 . . .answer

    sin 225 = sin (180 + 45)

    sin (180 + 45) = sin 180 * cos 45 + cos 180 * sin 45

    = 0*(√2/2) + (-1)*(√2/2)

    = 0 - √2/2

    = -√2/2 . . . answer

    tan (180-45) which is -tan45 and sin (180+45) -sin45
