1. Reference Angle (α)

• Any angle around a circle can be turned into a right triangle using a reference angle (α).

• Using this we can calculate any angle around the center of a circle.

• Depending on the Quadrant (I, II, III, IV) the initial side of the refence angle changes.

Evaluating Sine & Cosine with the Unit Circle

Goal: Students will be able to evaluate sine and cosine using the Unit Circle

Using the Unit Circle

• to evaluate sine and cosine, we use the coordinates that lie on the Unit Circle's circumference

• cosine of an angle is equal to the length of the reference triangle's adjacent side and is represented by the x-coordinate

• sine of an angle is equal to the length of the reference triangle's opposite side and is represented by the y-coordinate

Evaluating Cosine

• cos(θ) = x-coordinate of the point associated with that angle

• cos(270°) = 0

• cos(π/6) = √3/2

• cos(2π/3) = -1/2

Multiple Choice

Evaluate cos(135°)

• $$-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$$  

• $$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$$  

• $$-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$$  

• $$-\frac{1}{2}$$  

• $$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$$
