Formula Used

The unit circle has radius 1. Any angle θ places a point on the circle with coordinate (x, y).

x = cos(θ)

y = sin(θ)

tan(θ) = sin(θ) / cos(θ)

sec(θ) = 1 / cos(θ)

csc(θ) = 1 / sin(θ)

cot(θ) = cos(θ) / sin(θ)

Reference angles help identify exact values and signs inside each quadrant. Coterminal angles differ by full rotations and share identical trig values.

FAQs

1. What does this calculator return?

It returns normalized angle values, radians, degrees, quadrant, reference angle, coterminal angle, coordinates, and all six trigonometric functions from one input.

2. Can I enter radians instead of degrees?

Yes. Select radians in the input unit menu. The tool converts your value, normalizes it, and shows both degree and radian forms.

3. Why is tangent sometimes undefined?

Tangent equals sin(θ) divided by cos(θ). When cos(θ) is zero, division is impossible, so tangent and secant become undefined.

4. Why are some exact values not shown?

Exact symbolic values are displayed for standard unit circle angles such as 30°, 45°, 60°, and their quadrant equivalents. Other angles show decimal results.

5. What is a reference angle?

A reference angle is the acute angle between the terminal side and the x-axis. It helps determine exact unit circle values and signs.

6. What is a coterminal angle?

Coterminal angles end at the same terminal side. They differ by full turns, so they always share identical sine, cosine, and tangent values.

7. Does the graph change after every calculation?

Yes. The graph updates after submission and places your point directly on the unit circle with a radius line from the origin.

8. Can I export the results for classwork?

Yes. Use the CSV button for spreadsheet work and the PDF button for printed notes, homework, or saved calculation records.
