Convert 180° to radians.
Answer: π
180° equals π radians by definition.
What is the reference angle for 210°?
Answer: 30°
210° is in the third quadrant; its reference angle is 210° − 180° = 30°.
In which quadrant is sine positive but cosine negative?
Answer: Second
In quadrant II, sine is positive and cosine is negative.
What is cos 120°?
Answer: −1/2
120° has reference angle 60° in quadrant II, so cos 120° = −cos 60° = −1/2.
Convert π/3 radians to degrees.
Answer: 60°
π/3 × 180°/π = 60°.
The point on the unit circle at angle 90° has coordinates:
Answer: (0, 1)
At 90° the unit-circle point is (cos 90°, sin 90°) = (0, 1).
What is sin 270°?
Answer: −1
At 270° the unit-circle y-coordinate is −1, so sin 270° = −1.
