CIRCLE
 REFERENCE ANGLE
determine the quadrant where the given angle lies and find
its reference angle.

COORDINATES OF A POINT ON THE

UNIT CIRCLE
find the coordinates 𝑃(𝑥,𝑦) on the unit circle given
the length of the arc
 REFERENCE ANGLE
If the given angle 𝛼 is in standard
position, its reference angle is the
acute angle 𝛽 formed by the
terminal side of 𝛼 and the
horizontal axis.
If the given angle 𝛼 is in Q-I,
the reference angle is itself.
If the given angle 𝛼 is in Q-II,
the reference angle is,
𝛽 =1 8 0 ° −𝛼 O R 𝛽 =𝜋 −𝛼
If the given angle 𝛼 is in Q-III,
the reference angle is,
𝛽 =𝛼 −18 0° OR 𝛽 =𝛼 −𝜋
If the given angle 𝛼 is in Q-IV,
the reference angle is,
𝛽 =3 60 ° −𝛼 OR 𝛽 =2𝜋 −𝛼

COORDINATES OF A POINT ON THE
UNIT CIRCLE
A unit circle is a circle whose center
is at the point of origin and have a
radius of 1 unit. Given by the
equation 𝑥2+𝑦2=1. Also, the
measure of the length of arc is equal to the
measure of the central angle. That is, 𝑠=𝜃.
