Key Concepts

Distance Formula

The distance formula, r = ?(x² + y²), is used to calculate the hypotenuse of the reference triangle formed by the point on the terminal side, which is essential for expressing the trigonometric functions in terms of the coordinates of the point.

Standard Position

An angle in standard position has its vertex at the origin and its initial side along the positive x-axis. This forms the basis for defining trigonometric functions for any angle by examining where its terminal side lies in the coordinate plane.

Terminal Side

The terminal side of an angle is the ray that represents the rotated position of the initial side after the angle is measured. The coordinates of any point on the terminal side can be used to determine the values of trigonometric functions.

Reference Triangle

A reference triangle is created by drawing a right triangle from the given point on the terminal side, using the x-axis and a line perpendicular from the point to the x-axis. This triangle allows the use of basic definitions of sine, cosine, and tangent by relating the sides of the triangle.

Trigonometric Function Definitions

The six trigonometric functions—sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, and cotangent—are defined based on the ratios of the sides of the reference triangle. Specifically, sine is the ratio of the y-coordinate to the hypotenuse, cosine is the ratio of the x-coordinate to the hypotenuse, and tangent is the ratio of the y-coordinate to the x-coordinate, with the reciprocal functions defined accordingly.
