b) the value of x-coordinate,
c) the ratio of y-coordinate to x-coordinate of several points on the circumference of the unit circle.

iii)

Verify that, for an angle in quadrant I of the unit circle:

a) sin = y-coordinate, b) cos = x-coordinate, c) tan = y-coordinate
x-coordinate

iv)

Determine the values of:

a) sine, b) cosine, c) tangent of an angle in quadrant I of the unit circle.

v)
