This Reference Triangles instructional video also includes:
It is all about where the side is located. Pupils use their knowledge of angles in standard position to find reference angles. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to find lengths along a terminal side of an angle to determine the exact value of trigonometric functions. Scholars create reference triangles given either a point on a terminal side or the quadrant and a trigonometric value to find additional trig values. Learners check their understanding with a five question exit ticket.
