Consequently, how do you find the terminal point?
Terminal Point on the Unit Circle. To find the terminal point on the unit circle, start at (1,0), measure the angle in degree or radian on the circle (move counter clockwise if the angle is positive and clockwise if the angle is negative.) The coordinate of the endpoint is called the terminal point.
Similarly, how do you choose the point on the terminal side of an angle? The terminal side will intersect the circle at some point . Depending on the angle, that point could be in the first, second, third, or fourth quadrant. The sine of the angle is equal to the y-coordinate of this point and the cosine of the angle is equal to the x-coordinate of this point.
Keeping this in consideration, which quadrant would `- 210 degrees be in if it was in standard position?
second quadrant
What is a terminal point in trigonometry?
(The relationship between angles (measured in radians) and point on a circle of radius 1.) The point you end up at is called the “terminal point” P(x,y).
