A

Concepts

1.

A 45-45-90 triangle has two legs of equal length. If both legs
have length 1, what is the length of the hypotenuse?

2.

Which pair of values correctly gives sin ⁣(π4)\sin\!\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)
and cos ⁣(π4)\cos\!\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)?

3.

A point at angle xx in the first quadrant of the unit circle has
coordinates (a,b)(a, b).

Write the coordinates of the point at angle πx\pi - x and explain,
in one or two sentences, why the y-coordinate stays the same while
the x-coordinate changes sign.

Procedures

1.

Using the 30-60-90 triangle, what is the exact value of
sin ⁣(π6)\sin\!\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)?

Enter the value as a decimal or simplified fraction (e.g., enter
0.50.5 or 1/21/2).

2.

What is the exact value of tan ⁣(π6)\tan\!\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)?

3.

Using the symmetry relation sin(πx)=sin(x)\sin(\pi - x) = \sin(x), what is the
exact value of sin ⁣(5π6)\sin\!\left(\frac{5\pi}{6}\right)?

4.

What is the exact value of cos ⁣(7π6)\cos\!\left(\frac{7\pi}{6}\right)?

(Hint: 7π6=π+π6\frac{7\pi}{6} = \pi + \frac{\pi}{6})

5.

What is the exact value of cos ⁣(π3)\cos\!\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right)?
