Station 4: Synthesize It -Circular Functions & the Unit Circle
Abstract to Applied Synthesis
Use the unit circle to model a robot arm's motion, demonstrating how a single angle corresponds to a unique horizontal (x) and vertical (y) position, and to apply this understanding to predict and analyze the arm's movement within its workspace.

Checklist:
I labeled all quadrants on the unit circle.
I accurately plotted and labeled all the given angles in both degrees and radians.
I correctly identified and wrote down the sine and cosine values for each angle.
I interpreted the coordinates to describe the robot's horizontal and vertical positions.
