Trigonometric Functions and Angles

This video tutorial explains how to find the exact values of trigonometric functions using special triangles and the concept of reference angles. It covers the 30-60-90 and 45-45-90 triangles, and the use of sohcahtoa for sine, cosine, and tangent calculations. The tutorial includes examples such as sine of 30 degrees, cosine of 5π/6, tangent of π/6, cosine of 240 degrees, tangent of -45 degrees, and sine of 10π/3, demonstrating the conversion between radians and degrees, and the use of coterminal angles.
