Topic Trigonometry on a Cartesian plane
The Cartesian plane is divided up into 4 quadrants. The quadrants represent where 𝑥𝑥 𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 𝑦𝑦
values will be positive or negative, as well as the size of the angle.

Determine: Remember!!
1. 𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 𝛽𝛽 Adjacent side = 𝑥𝑥 − 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 = 5
2. 𝛽𝛽
3. 𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠 𝛽𝛽 Opposite side = 𝑦𝑦 − 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 = 6
4. √61𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠 + 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 2 𝛽𝛽 Hypotenuse needs to be calculated by
making use of Pythagoras
Answers:
𝑜𝑜 𝑦𝑦 6 1
1. 𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 𝛽𝛽 = = = =1
𝑎𝑎 𝑥𝑥 5 5
1
2. 𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 𝛽𝛽 = 1

∴ 𝛽𝛽 = 𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡−1 �1 �

𝛽𝛽 = 50,19°
𝑜𝑜 𝑦𝑦
𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠 𝛽𝛽 = = Thus you first
ℎ 𝑟𝑟
3. 𝑟𝑟 2 = 𝑥𝑥 2 + 𝑦𝑦 2 have to calculate 𝑟𝑟, the
𝑟𝑟 2 = 52 + 62 hypotenuse side
𝑟𝑟 2 = 25 + 36
𝑟𝑟 2 = 61
𝑟𝑟 = √61
5
∴ 𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠 𝛽𝛽 = = 0,64
