Answer

$\sin 225^{\circ}=-\frac{\sqrt 2}{2}$, $\cos 225^{\circ}=-\frac{\sqrt 2}{2}$ $\tan 225^{\circ}=1$

Work Step by Step

Reference angle $\theta' =\theta-180^{\circ}$ if $\theta $ is in quadrant III. $\implies \theta'=225^{\circ}-180^{\circ}=45^{\circ}$ Sine is negative, cosine is negative and tangent is positive in quadrant III. $\implies \sin 225^{\circ}=-\sin 45^{\circ}=-\frac{\sqrt 2}{2}$, $\cos 225^{\circ}=-\cos 45^{\circ}=-\frac{\sqrt 2}{2}$ and $\tan 225^{\circ}=\tan 45^{\circ}=1$
