Understanding the Unit Circle by Hand

The video tutorial explains how to construct the unit circle by hand using a unique method involving finger positions to determine cosine and sine values for angles in the first quadrant. It then extends this method to cover the entire unit circle by using symmetry and folding techniques. The tutorial also discusses the signs of coordinates in different quadrants and provides a step-by-step guide to labeling angles around the circle.

What is the primary purpose of using your hand in learning the unit circle?

• To memorize the unit circle

• To draw the unit circle accurately

• To find values in the first quadrant

• To calculate angles precisely
