The rule behind the table Cosine is the first coordinate, sine the second. A zero on the bottom of a quotient means undefined: tan \tan tan breaks where cos = 0 \cos = 0 cos = 0 (90 ∘ 90^\circ 9 0 ∘ , 270 ∘ 270^\circ 27 0 ∘ ), cot \cot cot breaks where sin = 0 \sin = 0 sin = 0 (0 ∘ 0^\circ 0 ∘ , 180 ∘ 180^\circ 18 0 ∘ , 360 ∘ 360^\circ 36 0 ∘ ).
