Step 2 Find the reference angle u′. Step 3 Find the trigonometric function values for u′. Step 4 Determine the correct signs for the values found in Step 3. To approximate a trigonometric function value of an angle in degrees, make sure the calculator is in degree mode. Find exact values of the six trigonometric functions for angle A.
