MHB SE Class 10 Maths - Rational or Irrational Numbers: $\cos(1^0)$ and $\tan(1^0)$

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on whether $\cos(1^\circ)$ and $\tan(1^\circ)$ are rational or irrational numbers. Participants assert that both values are irrational. A proof supporting this claim is referenced in the thread. The focus remains on the mathematical properties of these trigonometric functions evaluated at 1 degree. Overall, the conclusion is that both $\cos(1^\circ)$ and $\tan(1^\circ)$ are irrational numbers.

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?
