sin 16^°  =?  cos 16^°  =?  without using cos(3θ)  algebric method please

$$\boldsymbol{{sin}}\:\mathrm{16}^{°} \:=? \\ $$$$\boldsymbol{{cos}}\:\mathrm{16}^{°} \:=? \\ $$$$\boldsymbol{{without}}\:\boldsymbol{{using}}\:\boldsymbol{{cos}}\left(\mathrm{3}\theta\right) \\ $$$$\boldsymbol{{algebric}}\:\boldsymbol{{method}}\:\boldsymbol{{please}} \\ $$

trying calculus method  y=sinx  (dy/dx)=cosx  (dy/dx)≈((△y)/(△x))  △y=(dy/dx)△x  now x=15^o    x+△x=16^o    so △x=1^o =(π/(180))radian  sin15^o =sin(45−30)=sin45^o cos30^o −cos45^o sin30^o   sin15^o =(1/(√2))×((√3)/2)−(1/(√2))×(1/2)=(((√3) −1)/(2(√2)))  cos15^o =cos(45^o −30^o )=(1/(√2))×((√3)/2)+(1/(√2))×(1/2)  cos15^o =(((√3) +1)/(2(√2)))  △y=(dy/dx)×△x  △y=(cosx)△x  △y=cos15^o ×(π/(180))  △y=((((√3) +1)/(2(√2))))×(π/(180))  hence sin16^o =(((√3) −1)/(2(√2)))+(((√3) +1)/(2(√2)))×(π/(180))  sin16^o =0.2726776311  sin16^o ≈0.2726  now if y=cosx  (dy/dx)=((△y)/(△x))=−sinx  △y=(−sinx)△x  =(−(((√3) −1)/(2(√2))))×(π/(180))  =(−0.0045172445)  so cos (16^o )=(((√3) +1)/(2(√2)))−0.0045172445  cos16^o =0.9614085818≈0.9614
