    sin (2Θ) = 2cosΘsinΘ

    sinΘ=opposite/hypotenuse=8/17

    adjacent = (17^2 - 8^2) ^1/2 = 15

    sin (2Θ) = 2cosΘsinΘ = 2 * (15/17) * (8/17) = 240/289

    opposite of 2Θ equals 240

    hypotenuse of 2Θ equals 289

    adjacent of 2Θ = (289^2 - 240^2) ^1/2 = 161

    cos (2Θ) = 161/289

    tan (2Θ) = 240/161
