Points in Quadrant II
Part of the Angles and the Unit Circle section of Coddy's Trigonometry journey. Lesson 34 of 55.
A point in quadrant II is the mirror image, in the y-axis, of a point in quadrant I. The mirror keeps the height and flips the across.
Take 120°. Its reference angle is 60°, so the triangle under it is the 60° triangle: across 1/2, height √3/2. Mirrored into quadrant II the across turns negative: the point at 120° is (, ), so and .
