The taylor series for the base trigonometry functions are as follows:
'''''A + B + C = 180°'''''
 
'''''A + B = 90°'''''
 
'''''a² + b² = c²'''''
 
'''''sin(A) = a / c'''''
 
'''''cos(A) = b / c'''''
 
'''''tan(A) = a / c'''''
 
'''''tan(A) = sin(A) / cos(A)'''''
----
You can use a Taylor series to approximate the value of sine, cosine and tangent:

'''''tan(x) = x^1/1! + x^3/3! + x^5/5! + x^7/7! + ...'''''
'''''tan(x) = x^1/1! + x^3/3! + x^5/5! + x^7/7! + ...'''''
