Understanding Trigonometric Values & the Unit Circle

What Are Trigonometric Functions?

Trigonometric functions are mathematical relationships between angles and the ratios of the sides of a right triangle. The six primary trig functions are: sine (sin), cosine (cos), tangent (tan), cosecant (csc), secant (sec), and cotangent (cot). Given an angle θ in a right triangle with sides labeled as opposite (opp), adjacent (adj), and hypotenuse (hyp):

  • sin θ = opposite / hypotenuse
  • cos θ = adjacent / hypotenuse
  • tan θ = opposite / adjacent = sin θ / cos θ
  • csc θ = 1 / sin θ (hypotenuse / opposite)
  • sec θ = 1 / cos θ (hypotenuse / adjacent)
  • cot θ = 1 / tan θ (adjacent / opposite)

The Unit Circle and Standard Angles

The unit circle is a circle of radius 1 centered at the origin of a coordinate plane. For any angle θ, a point on the unit circle has coordinates (cos θ, sin θ). This geometric definition extends trigonometry beyond right triangles to all real-numbered angles (including negative and beyond 360°). The standard angles most commonly memorized are multiples of 30° (π/6) and 45° (π/4), derived from two special right triangles:

  • 45°-45°-90° Triangle: sides in ratio 1 : 1 : √2. Yields sin 45° = cos 45° = √2/2.
  • 30°-60°-90° Triangle: sides in ratio 1 : √3 : 2. Yields sin 30° = 1/2, cos 30° = √3/2, sin 60° = √3/2, cos 60° = 1/2.

Degrees vs. Radians

Angles can be measured in degrees (a full circle = 360°) or radians (a full circle = 2π radians). Radians are the natural unit for trigonometry in calculus and advanced mathematics because derivatives of trig functions are simpler (d/dx(sin x) = cos x only holds in radians). The conversion formula is:

radians = degrees × (π / 180)  |  degrees = radians × (180 / π)

For example, 180° equals π radians, 90° equals π/2 radians, and 45° equals π/4 radians.

Reference Angles and Quadrant Signs

A reference angle is the positive acute angle (0° to 90°) between the terminal side of any angle and the x-axis. All trig values for an angle can be computed from its reference angle, with the sign determined by which quadrant the angle lies in (using the ASTC rule):

  • Quadrant I (0°–90°): All functions positive.
  • Quadrant II (90°–180°): Only sin and csc are positive.
  • Quadrant III (180°–270°): Only tan and cot are positive.
  • Quadrant IV (270°–360°): Only cos and sec are positive.

For example, sin 150° = sin(180° − 30°) = sin 30° = 1/2 (Quadrant II, sin positive). And cos 150° = −cos 30° = −√3/2 (negative in Q II).

Frequently Asked Questions About Trig Values Table

The Trig Values Table is a comprehensive mathematical reference chart that lists the exact values of the six primary trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, and cotangent) for standard angles in both degrees (from 0° to 360°) and radians.

Exact values are derived from special right triangles: the 45°-45°-90° triangle (sides ratio 1:1:√2) and the 30°-60°-90° triangle (sides ratio 1:√3:2). By applying the definitions of trigonometric ratios (opposite/hypotenuse, adjacent/hypotenuse, etc.) to these triangles, exact values like 1/2, √2/2, and √3/2 are calculated.

Standard angles are multiples of 30° and 45° around the unit circle. The primary standard angles in the first quadrant are 0° (0 rad), 30° (π/6 rad), 45° (π/4 rad), 60° (π/3 rad), and 90° (π/2 rad). Other standard angles in quadrants II, III, and IV share the same reference angles.

To convert degrees to radians, multiply the angle in degrees by π/180. For example, 180° × (π/180) = π radians, and 30° × (π/180) = π/6 radians. To convert radians back to degrees, multiply by 180/π.

Tangent is defined as the ratio of sine to cosine (tan θ = sin θ / cos θ). At 90 degrees, sin(90°) = 1 and cos(90°) = 0. Since division by zero is mathematically undefined, tangent is undefined at 90° (representing a vertical asymptote on the tangent graph). Similarly, cot is undefined at 0° and 180°, csc at 0° and 180°, and sec at 90° and 270°.

The ASTC rule ("All Students Take Calculus") helps remember which functions are positive in each quadrant: Quadrant I (A) — All functions are positive; Quadrant II (S) — Sine (and cosecant) are positive; Quadrant III (T) — Tangent (and cotangent) are positive; Quadrant IV (C) — Cosine (and secant) are positive.
