Sine, Cosine, and Tangent
In 3.2A we placed angles in standard position and measured them in radians. Now we attach numbers to an angle. The terminal ray of every angle crosses a circle centered at the origin at exactly one point, and the coordinates of that point give three important values: the sine, cosine, and tangent of the angle.
