STANDARDS:
F-TF.1. Understand radian measure of an angle as the length of the arc on the unit circle subtended by the angle.
F-TF.2. Explain how the unit circle in the coordinate plane enables the extension of trigonometric functions to all real numbers,
interpreted as radian measures of angles traversed counterclockwise around the unit circle.
F-TF.3. Use special triangles to determine geometrically the values of sine, cosine, tangent for π/3, π/4 and π/6, and use the unit
circle to express the values of sine, cosines, and tangent for x, π + x, and 2π – x in terms of their values for x, where x is any real
number.
F-TF.4. Use the unit circle to explain symmetry (odd and even) and periodicity of trigonometric functions.
F-TF.5. Choose trigonometric functions to model periodic phenomena with specified amplitude, frequency, and midline.
F-TF.6. Understand that restricting a trigonometric function to a domain on which it is always increasing or always decreasing allows
its inverse to be constructed.
F-TF.7. Use inverse functions to solve trigonometric equations that arise in modeling contexts; evaluate the solutions using
technology, and interpret them in terms of the context.
F-TF.8. Prove the Pythagorean identity sin2(θ) + cos2(θ) = 1 and use it to find sin(θ), cos(θ), or tan(θ) given sin(θ), cos(θ), or tan(θ) and
the quadrant of the angle.
F-TF.9. Prove the addition and subtraction formulas for sine, cosine, and tangent and use them to solve problems.
UNDERSTAND:

Compare and contrast right and non-right triangles.
Classify the law of sines and the law of cosines to explain their proofs.
How the unit circle in the coordinate plane
enables the extension of trigonometric
functions to all real numbers, interpreted as
radian measures of angles traversed
counterclockwise around the unit circle.
By similarity, side ratios in right triangles
are properties of the angles in the triangle,
leading to definitions of sine, cosine and
tangent.
Use the unit circle to express the values of sine, cosines, and tangent for x, π + x, and
2π – x in terms of their values for x, where x is any real number.

The relationship between the sine and
cosine of complementary angles.
Use and explain the relationship between the sine and cosine of complementary

Law of Cosines generalizes the Pythagorean
Theorem.
Use sine, cosine, tangent and the Pythagorean Theorem to solve right triangles in
applied problems.
Law of Sines and Cosines embody the
triangle congruence criteria, in that three
pieces of information are usually sufficient
to completely solve a triangle; and yield
two possible solutions in the ambiguous
Explain the proofs of the Law of Sines and the Law of Cosines.
