Trigonometric FunctionsOf Any Angle
Unit Circle Rationale
Recall that when using the unit circle to evaluate the value of a trig function, cos θ = x and sin θ = y. What we didn’t point out is that since the radius (hypotenuse) is 1, the trig
values are really cos θ = and sin θ = .
S So what if the radius (hypotenuse) is not 1?
Trig Function of Any Angle
Let θ be an angle whose terminal side contains the point (4, 3). Find sin θ, cos θ, and tan θ.
We must first find the hypotenuse (r) by using the Pythagorean Theorem.
