In this standard we will…
Review the side relationships of 30°-60°-90°
and 45°-45°-90° triangles.
Build trig ratios based 30°-60°-90° and 45°45°-90° triangles.
What exactly is a radian and why the pi?
Can I switch between radians and
degrees?
If they both measure angles why do I need
to learn radians at all?

Angles are in
Standard Position
in the Unit Circle.
They work off their
Reference Angle.
The ratios are set
up in terms of x, y
and r.

Example 1
The terminal side of angle θ in standard
position contains (8,-15), find the 6 trig ratios.

Now find the angle.

Radians
What exactly is a radian and
why the pi?

What is a degree?

Radians are based on the circumference of the
unit circle.

Radian measurements are usually shown in
terms of π.

Radians are unitless. No unit or symbol is used.
