Trigonometric Identities
Reference Angles
• When an angle is
graphed on the
coordinate plane,
the positive,
acute angle
formed by the
terminal side and
the x-axis is
called a
reference angle.
• They form a
bowtie!
Graph Angles in the Coordinate Plane
Plot an angle in the
coordinate plane
1. Sketch the angle
with its initial side
on the positive xaxis
2. Construct a right
triangle from the
terminal side to the
x-axis, making the
reference angle
inside the triangle.
Trigonometry Ratios in the Coordinate
Plane
When you sketch a right triangle in the coordinate plane,
the trig ratios are determined using the sides in relation to the
reference angle. The legs are x and y values, and the
hypotenuse is r (radius of the circle).
Signs of Trigonometry Ratios in the
Coordinate Plane
• Trigonometric ratios can be written in terms of x, y, and r.
• x and y can be positive, negative, or 0.
• Trigonometric ratios can be positive, negative, 0, or
undefined. Recall the unit circle for the quadrant angles.
Find a trig ratio given a trig ratio
1. Make a sketch of a right triangle in the correct quadrant.
Be sure that you connect to the x axis and make the
reference angle at the origin.
2. Label the sides according to the trig ratio given. Be sure
to put any + or - signs on the correct side. [SOHCAHTOA]
3. Find the third side (hypotenuse) using the Pythagorean
Theorem. [a² + b² = c²]
4. Now use the trig ratios to find the exact value.

1. Make a sketch of angle
2. Draw a right triangle
3. Label the sides
• Since sin  = opposite/hypotenuse, you label those 2
sides.
