What is the unit circle?
  • It is a circle centered at the origin (0,0) with a radius of 1

  • It has the formula x2 + y2 = 1

  • It is a shortcut to finding the sine and cosine of the angles of special right triangles (30-60-90) or (45-45-90)

media

8

Why does the unit circle work?
  • The distance from the center to a point on the circle is the radius, or 1.

  • If we drop a perpendicular line from the point to the radius, that vertical distance is y

  • If we draw a line from the center to where the perpendicular line touches the circle, that horizontal distance is x

Reference Angle
  • Measure of Terminal side to closest x axis

  • Distance to x axis

  • MUST be < 90 degree

  • MUST be Positive

16

Finding Reference Angles
  • The blue portion of graph is the original angle

  • The red portion is reference angle



media

17

Finding Reference angle by Quadrant
  • Quadrant 1 - itself

  • Quadrant 2 - 180 Degrees minus the angle

  • Quadrant 3 - The angle minus 180 degrees

  • Quadrant 4 - 360 minus the angle

What are the values for sine and cosine for each angle on the unit circle?

25

Values for Cosine and Sine
  • The cosine and sine of each angle are the (x, y) values.

  • Cosine is the x value

  • Sine is the y-value

  • The signs correspond to the sign of the quadrants of the coordinate plane
