Whats wrong plant? What was their question? Help!...help!!! Harrharrhaaarrrr
Lets Go
OkIll help you find the solution to your problem before its too late.
The zombies are running after me. Theyre going to eat my brain once they catch me and have no answer to their question
Lets discuss first the following terms which will be needed to determine the coordinates of the angle on the unit circle.
Here all angles are in standard position. Angle in standard position are angles whose initial sides lie on the positive x-axis. Every angle in unit circle can be expressed as function P() = (x, y). The following are special angles with their coordinates: P(30) = (3/2, 1/2) P(45) = (2/2, 2/2) P(60) = (1/2, 3/2)
Just remember the coordinates of those special angles huhBecause you will be using them later. Ok.Gotcha SoLets continue
Better if I will be in my normal me this time Now take a look at the angle below in unit circle, what do you observe? Reference angle is a positive acute angle between the x-axis and the terminal side of the given angle.
60 120
Therefore, reference angle of 120 is 60. Remember: Positive angle rotates Counterclockwise while Negative angle rotates Clockwise.
The angle is equal to120 it is not anymore a special angle! What will we do now? Wait! I will transform to think deeper Aha! Let us use its reference angle. My friend Crazy Dave will give some exercises for you on reference angle. OkI am very excited to meet him and ready to do the exercises.

3. -120
Answer: _____
This time we are going to locate the quadrant the given angle terminates. Activity Here we#2: go againlets locate the quadrant each could angle you find the terminal side of each angle to the At what quadrant terminates. right?
1. 150 2. 60 3. -120 4. 225
5. 330
6. -30
7. -110
8. 368
Answers: 1. ____ 2. ____ 3.____ 4. ____ 5. ____ 6. ____ 7. ____ 8. ____ Questions: 1. Which of the angles are located in a) QI _________ b) QII __________ c) QIII ___________ and d) QIV ____________? 2.

Now I guess you know already the important terms to be considered in determining the coordinates of the angles on a unit circle. Try the next activity to enhance your knowledge on the concept. Activity #3: Fill in the blank with the correct answer.
Questions: 1. How will you relate coordinates of the given angle and coordinates of its reference angle?__________________________________________ 2. What do we consider in determining the coordinates of the angles in unit circle? _________________________________________________
ASSESSMENT CARD
How s your feelingPlant?
Do you know already how to determine the coordinates of the angles in a unit circle? Its alright! Just call me once you need my help. Before you leave, answer the last activity for you to evaluate your understanding with the concept.
Fine and Great! Yup! I owe you my life. Thank you very much for sharing your ideas. Now I can face the zombies with confidence.
-30
240
-120
(-1/2, 3/2)
(-1/2, -3/2)
135 (-2/2, 2/2)
390
(2/2, -2/2)
To determine the coordinates of the angle on the unit circle, the following are to be considered
Every angle corresponds to a distinct coordinates (x, y) of point on the unit circle. This means P() = (x, y). 1. Direction of rotation of the angle in standard position 2. The quadrant in which the terminal side of the angle terminates 3. Its reference angle and magnitude of its coordinates.
