נזכור כי <math>1+tan^2\alpha=\frac{1}{cos^2 \alpha}</math>, ונקבל <math>cos^2 \left ( \frac{x}{2} \right )=\frac{1}{1+tan^2\left ( \frac{x}{2} \right )}=\frac{1}{1+u^2}</math>.
נקבל בנוסף <math>cos\ x=2\dcot cdot cos^2\left ( \frac{x}{2} \right )-1=2\cdot\frac{1}{1+u^2}-1=\frac{2-1-u^2}{1+u^2}=\frac{1-u^2}{1+u^2}</math>.
לכן <math>sin\ x=\sqrt{ 1-cos^2 x }=\sqrt{1-\left (\frac{1-u^2}{1+u^2} \right )^2}=\sqrt{1-\frac{1-2u^2+u^4}{1+2u^2+u^4}}=\sqrt{\frac{1+2u^2+u^4-\left (1-2u^2+u^4 \right )}{\left ( 1+u^2 \right )^2}}=\sqrt{\frac{4u^2}{\left ( 1+u^2 \right )^2}}=\sqrt{\frac{\left ( 2u \right )^2}{\left ( 1+u^2 \right )^2}}=\frac{2u}{1+u^2}</math>
