Walkin' around, unit circles,
Doing trigonometry.
Radius one means points (x,y),
Use (cos, sine), we'll all agree.
Talkin' about, unit circles,
Special angles we should bring.
Degrees depart, when there's two pi,
And we fraction everything.
Sine will give half and root half, for sixths and, fourths of pi,
Third of pi means root three quarters.
Cos? We can, reverse pi orders.
Spinning around, unit circles,
Finding slope for all the tans.
Taking care if there's negatives,
As we finalize trig plans.
(Sax solo)
Sine will give half and root half, for sixths and, fourths of pi,
Third of pi means root three quarters.
Cos? We can, reverse pi orders.
Spinning around, unit circles,
Finding slope for all the tans.
Taking care if there's negatives,
As we fin-al-ize trig plans!
