10. Label all the angle measures on your unit circle template in radians. First, count by 6 , i.e.
1 2 3
6
then by 4 , then by 3 .
11. Next, create your special triangles.
Cut out the two special triangles at the bottom of the unit circle template.
You have worked with these triangles before. Decide which triangle is a 30 60 90 right
triangle and which is a 45 45 90 right triangle.
Label the hypotenuse of both triangles as 1.
Find the lengths of all of the sides and leave them in exact form (no decimals!)
Label the triangles (on both sides) with the angle measures and the lengths of all the sides.
Finally, we will label the coordinates of the points that correspond to the intersections of these angles and the
unit circle.
12. Using the unit circle template and the triangles you just
labeled, write the ordered pairs as exact values for each point
on the circumference of the circle. Do this by placing one of
your triangles in the appropriate position. For example the
shaded triangle is placed 60 from the initial side ( = 0) and
1 3
).

Unit Circle. What do you notice? The angle 6 is called the reference angle for
each of these angles. A reference angle corresponds to the acute angle that
is formed between the terminal side and the x-axis.
