Nov. 16 Class

Today we looked at the the case of how to define the Primary Trigonometric functions when the angles are greater than 90°.  For example, what is sin(225°)?

We certainly can't draw a triangle and find the ratios of opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse because it's difficult to draw a triangle with a 225° angle!

To find sin(225°) we actually need to define a few more things and that's what took the majority of today's class.  For now this is a lot of terminology and technical work, but we will find that it is very practical when it comes time to solve different types of problems.
