👉 Learn how to evaluate the six trigonometric functions given some constraints. When given the value of one trigonometric function, we can use a right triangle with one of its legs on the x-axis and the other leg, perpendicular to the x-axis is drawn such that the reference angle is at the origin. The x-coordinate of the given point represents the adjacent of the reference angle while the y-coordinate represent the opposite of the reference angle. The hypothenuse is the line joining from the origin to the terminal side of the 'opposite' line.

Using the Pythagoras theorem, we can obtain any of the unknown sides of the right triangle. Having the opposite, the adjacent and the hypothenuse of the reference angle of the right triangle, we can then evaluate the other trigonometric functions accordingly within the given constraint.
