2012-11-15 Basic Trigonometry On The Unit Circle Practice

This document contains practice problems involving trigonometric functions on the unit circle. It provides 6 problems to solve without a calculator involving exact values of trig functions of various angles. It then has 4 additional problems to solve using a calculator to find approximate values of trig functions rounded to two decimal places. The goal is to practice using trig identities and the unit circle to find exact values, and then checking those values using a calculator.
