The Unit Circle Dr. Shildneck Fall, 2014
2
The Unit Circle The Unit Circle is a circle of radius 1-unit.
Since angles have the same measure regardless of the size of their terminal side, we generally speak about their trigonometric ratios by using angles as they rotate around a unit circle.

Special Angles 90o 120o 60o 135o 45o 150o 30o 180o 0o 360o 210o 330o
