For an angle
Suppose that the angle
Andre uses the Pythagorean Identity and determines that the value of
Do you agree with Andre? Explain or show your reasoning.
Your teacher will give you a set of cards that should be arranged face up with cards showing values for sine, cosine, and tangent on one side and cards showing quadrants on the other.
Suppose we know that
Since we can think of
The sketch helps us see that the
Now that we know the value of cosine, we can calculate the value of tangent with some division:
We can use one piece of information and the structure of the unit circle to figure out a whole bunch more, similar to how we used the value of one side length, the hypotenuse, and the structure of right triangles in the past to figure out the other side length of the right triangle.
