Short Answer

Think and Answer

Answer the following in your own words.

1. Explain why the radius of a unit circle is always 1, no matter which angle you measure.
2. A point on the unit circle lies at angle 270°. What are its coordinates, and how did you work them out?
3. How is measuring an angle in radians different from measuring it in degrees?

These are open-ended - there's no single right answer to check.
