These can be derived from the half-angle formulas

sin(pi/(16))=sin(1/2·pi/8)
(25)
=sqrt(1/2(1-cospi/8))
(26)
=sqrt(1/2(1-1/2sqrt(2+sqrt(2))))
(27)
=sqrt(1/2-1/4sqrt(2+sqrt(2)))
(28)
=1/2sqrt(2-sqrt(2+sqrt(2)))
(29)
cos(pi/(16))=cos(1/2·pi/8)
(30)
=sqrt(1/2(1+cospi/8))
(31)
=sqrt(1/2(1+1/2sqrt(2+sqrt(2))))
(32)
=sqrt(1/2+1/4sqrt(2+sqrt(2)))
(33)
=1/2sqrt(2+sqrt(2+sqrt(2)))
(34)
tan(pi/(16))=sqrt((2-sqrt(2+sqrt(2)))/(2+sqrt(2+sqrt(2))))
(35)
=sqrt(4+2sqrt(2))-sqrt(2)-1.
