Get a better understanding of the trigonometric functions by taking a look at the flip side. Pupils create angles within a unit circle and compare the values of the standard trigonometric functions to their reciprocal functions. The scholars determine the method to find the value of any reciprocal trigonometric function given the value of the standard trigonometric ratio.
