0. (2 points if it is printed neatly) Name:______________________________
1. Sketch 210° in standard position.
210° is 30° more than 180° so, bearing in mind that one hour on a clock is 30° we have the following:
2. (3 points) Find two angles, one positive and one negative, that are coterminal with 135°
To find coterminal angles you add or subtract multiples of 360°. There are many possible answers. One
possibility is:
135° + 360°, 135° − 360°
= 495°, −225°

You use the following triangles, from which you can read off the values of the various trigonometric
functions. The first is a 45, 45,90 triangle and the second is a 30, 60,90 triangle. For example,
cos 45 

terminal side of  in standard position.
You use the following picture. You do not really need to draw the picture, but it lets you see what to do.
r is the standard letter for the distance from the origin to a point.
