*Quadrants and angles in a unit circle

The unit circle is the of radius 1 unit with its centre at the origin,O.The
x-axis and y-axis divide the circle into four equal quadrants.

*The values
a unit circle

of y and x-coordinates and the ratio of the y-coordinate to x-coordinate on the circumference of

For any point on the circumference of the unit circle, we can determine the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate by reading
off the corresponding value on the x-axis and y-axis.The ratio of y-coordinate can then be determined.
x-coordinate

* The values of in

,cos and tan for

90

360

The values of since of sine , cosine and tangent of angles in quadrants II, III and IV of a unit circle can be determined by using the same
concepts as to determine the values in quadrant I .
*Determining whether the value of sine,cosine and tangent of an angle in a specific quadrant is positive or negative.
For an angle in quadrant I (0 < < 90)

For an angle
