Let the side of a triangle be r and p. the hypotenuse is therefore, root r^2 + p^2

cos x = r/ (root r^2 + p^2)
sin x = p/ (root r^2 + p^2)

cos^2x + sin^2x = r^2/(r^2 + p^2) + p^2/(r^2 + p^2)

therefore, cos^2x + sin^2x = 1

prove that this will go on and on. (induction preferred XD)
related theorum: nothing can be proved indefinately

s(n): this will continue on n times

A. Consider s(1). This has to this point continued on 1 time. Hence s(1) true.

B. Assume s(k) true. That is, this has continued on k times.

Consider s(k+1). It already continue on k times (induction assumption), and since nothing can be proven indefinately, it will have to continue on for at least one more time. Hence this will continue on k+1 times.

C. It follows from parts A and B, by induction, that s(n) is true.
