Special Right Triangles • 45-45-90
Consider the Special Angles in relation to the Unit Circle… • Since the radius is always 1 and we know that the sine, cosine, and tangent values are always determined by the point through which the terminal ray passes, we can construct the following….
Reference Angles • We have previously learned that if the angle is the same size, then it will have the same values (but the + or – may switch depending upon the quadrant) • A Reference Angle is the acute angle formed by the terminal ray and the x-axis • The Reference Angle tells us the size of the triangle
