Actually, one of my math teacher told me about this. I want to know is there any relationship between this trick and their respective values?

4$\begingroup$ Sin and cos mirror eachother because they are co-functions. One value depends on the other due to $sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = 1$. As for the values themselves, there is no relation. It just so happens a trick could be made for those 5 values. $\endgroup$– KaynexDec 24, 2015 at 21:44

$\begingroup$ The Math Forum shows how to derive those angles. $\endgroup$– cr3Dec 24, 2015 at 23:24

It is a nice trick, but it works only for 5 listed values.
