Trigonometric Functions and Unit Circle

This video tutorial explains how to determine trigonometric function values using the unit circle. It begins with a recommendation to watch a prior video on reference angles and triangles. The tutorial covers the properties of 30-60-90 and 45-45 right triangles, introduces the unit circle, and explains how to use it to find sine, cosine, and tangent values. It also demonstrates how to calculate advanced trigonometric functions like cosecant, secant, and cotangent using the unit circle.
