Day 4 Special right triangles, angles, and the unit circle
Special Right Triangles • 45-45-90 • 30-60-90
Angles • An angle in standard position: • Has vertex at the origin • Initial side on the positive x-axis • Terminal side somewhere else on the coordinate plane. Counterclockwise rotations are positive, clockwise are negative!
What is the measure of the angle in standard form? a) b) **These will be special right triangles!! Careful, this one is negative!
Coterminal angles • Coterminal angles have the same terminal side. • To find coterminal angles, add or subtract . • Let’s find some angles that are coterminal with !
Finding cosine and sine of an angle. • Draw the angle. • Draw a line from the terminal side of your angle to the x-axis. • It will make a special right triangle – decide which one it is. • Fill in the side lengths (you may have to use pythagorean theorem. • Find Sine and Cosine.
Find the exact value of sine and cosine for each angle. a) b)
