### Eureka Math Algebra 2 Module 2 Lesson 4 Example Answer Key

Example 1.
Suppose that point P is the point on the unit circle obtained by rotating the initial ray through 30°. Find sin(30°) and cos(30°).

What is the length OQ of the horizontal leg of our triangle?
By remembering the special triangles from geometry, we have OQ = $$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$$.

What is the length QP of the vertical leg of our triangle?
Either by the Pythagorean theorem or by remembering the special triangles from Geometry, we have QP = $$\frac{1}{2}$$

What is sin(30°)?
sin(30°) = $$\frac{1}{2}$$

What is cos(30°)?
cos(30°) = $$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$$

Example 2.
Suppose that P is the point on the unit circle obtained by rotating the initial ray through 150°. Find sin(150°) and cos(150°).

Notice that the 150° angle formed by $$\overrightarrow{O P}$$ and $$\overrightarrow{O E}$$ is exterior to the right triangle ∆ POQ. Angle POQ is the reference angle for rotation by 150°. We can use symmetry and the fact that we know the sine and cosine ratios of 30° to find the values of the sine and cosine functions for 150 degrees of rotation.

→ What are the coordinates (xθ, yθ) of point P?
Using symmetry, we see that the y-coordinate of P is the same as it was for a 30° rotation but that the x-coordinate is the opposite sign as it was for a 30° rotation. Thus (xθ, yθ) = $$\left(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, \frac{1}{2}\right)$$

→ What is sin(150°)?
sin (150°) = $$\frac{1}{2}$$

→ What is cos(150°)?
cos (150°) = $$-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$$

Question 9.
The vertices of ∆ ABC have coordinates A(0, 0), B(4, 3), and C(4, 0). The vertices of ∆ ADE are A(0, 0), D(3, 4), and E(3, 0).
a. Argue that ∆ ABC is a right triangle.

By the answer to part (b), sin(θ°) = $$\frac{3}{5}$$ and cos(θ°) = $$\frac{4}{5}$$

d. Argue that ∆ ADE is a right triangle.
Since a2 + b2 = c2, the converse of the Pythagorean theorem guarantees that ∆ ADE is a right triangle.

Using similar triangles, the hypotenuse intersects the unit circle at ($$\left(\frac{3}{5}, \frac{4}{5}\right)$$).

g. What is the relation between the sine and cosine of θ and the sine and cosine of Φ?
We find that sin(Φ°) = $$\frac{4}{5}$$ = cos(θ°), and cos(Φ°) = $$\frac{3}{5}$$ = sin(θ°).

Question 10.
Use a diagram to explain why sin(135°) = sin(45°), but cos(135°) ≠ cos(45°).
Let O be the center of the circle, let P and R be the points where the terminal rays of rotation by 135° and 45°, and let Q and S be the feet of the perpendicular lines from P and R to the x-axis, respectively. Then △ OPQ and △ ORS are both isosceles right triangles with hypotenuses of length 1, so they are congruent. Thus, PQ = RS, and OQ = OS. Let the coordinates of P and R be (xp, yp,) and (xR, yR). Then xp = – OQ = – OR = – xR, and yp = PQ = RS = yQ. Then we have cos(135°) = – cos(45°), and sin(135°) = sin(45°).
