Possible complex angles with no imaginary periodicity

Click For Summary
The discussion explores the implications of assigning values greater than one to sine or cosine in the equation sin²(x) + cos²(x) = 1, leading to complex angles. When sin(x) is set to 5/3, the resulting cosine yields an imaginary number, indicating that while real angles maintain periodicity, the imaginary components do not. The author connects these findings to Euler's equation and hyperbolic functions, suggesting that for imaginary angles, sine and cosine can be represented as hyperbolic functions. This approach raises questions about the nature of angles and the validity of using complex numbers in trigonometric contexts. The exploration hints at a potentially novel perspective on trigonometry that challenges traditional definitions of angles.

Trying the already known equation, sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = 1 i wondered what would happen
if i took that either sin(x) or cos(x) squared equalled a number greater than 1, so when i plugged in sin(x) as 5/3 i got cos(x) 4i/3 ,
went to euler's equation and added the results,
then put the aggregate to the logarithm and got
angle = 2kp + pi/2 ± 1.0986i. Solving for cos(x) as well i got an imaginary angle equal to
angle = ±1.0986i,
but as i went on having the number grow larger, the imaginary part would grow proportionately. Now, based on the results i got, i saw such angles only poccessed periodicity on the real, unchanged, part whereas the imaginary ones poccessed none. The plus or minus part was due to the fact that for 1 possible cosine (or sine), the resulting sine (or cosine) was either positive or negative, on the equation
sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = 1

I don't know if this is wrong but it yields an interesting result that might be telling something about a different, outside the usual trigonometry approach. However, seeing as i treated cosine and sine as continuous functions, and knowing that they can be used only to satisfy an equation, just numerically, i might be wrong, but based on the modification on the exponential function by euler,
e^x = cosh(x) + sinh(x) converted to e^ix = cos(x) + isin(x) i did the inverse, and got that for imaginary angles, cos(x) becomes cosh(x) and sin(x) becomes i*sinh(x), based on an approach
by the taylor series.

Also by using the trigonometrical identities sin(x+y) and cos(x+y) i got that
sin(x+iy) = sin(x)cosh(y) + i*cos(x)sinh(y) and
cos(x+iy) = cos(x)cosh(x) - i*sin(x)sinh(y) which in fact do satisfy the equation i did.
Could there really be such angles? Could this approach be right?

The term angle usually means a real number. However sin(z) or cos(z) where z is a complex number is a well defined function. When z is purely imaginary, then hyperbolic functions will be equivalent.

cos(ix) = cosh(x), sin(ix) = isinh(x)
 
Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
