I assume you mean
Explanation:
There is actually a geometric aspect to this problem. Certain angles can be constructed with just an unmarked straightedge and compasses (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compass-and-straightedge_construction), and when we say things like
we can express these results in terms of the geometric constructions. Unfortunately, among angles with whole numbers of degrees only multiples of
In https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometric_functions some values are given for various multiples of
