    This document provides information on trigonometric ratios of special angles. It defines the trig ratios using a unit circle and shows that for 90°, 180°, 270°, and 360° degrees, sin, cos, and tan can be determined directly from points on the unit circle. For other angles like 30°, 45°, and 60° degrees, it shows how to determine the trig ratios by dividing triangles into halves or thirds. It also provides examples for finding trig ratios of 225° and 120° degrees by identifying their reference angles and applying the appropriate sign based on the angle's quadrant.

    Example 1: Find sin 225
    Get the quadrant:
    III -> Cast rule -> sine is (-)
    Get the reference angle :
    45
    sin 45 = 2/2
    sin 225 = -2/2


    Determining the trig ratio from the
    special triangles or fingers
    Example 2: Find tan 120
    Get the quadrant:
    II -> Cast rule -> tangent is (-)
    Get the reference angle :
    60 ->
    Using fingers or special triangles, we
    determine tan 60 = 3
    tan 120 = -3
