# Section 4.4 – Trigonometric Functions of Any Angle

Section Details.
• Using a point on the terminal side of any angle to define the six trigonometric functions
• Learning in which quadrant each trigonometric function is positve and negative
• Definition of reference angle
• Using the reference angle and the quadrant to evaluate trigonometric functions of any angle
• Evaluating the trigonometric functions for an angle when given some information about the angle
