This math topic focuses on using Pythagorean identities in trigonometry to find the sine value from a given cosine value, while considering the specific quadrant in degrees. Students will solve problems that require applying the identity \( \cos^2(x) = 1 - \sin^2(x) \) to calculate the sine (\(\sin\)) when the cosine (\(\cos\)) and the quadrant of the angle are provided. These exercises emphasize understanding the relationship between sine and cosine and the importance of the angle's quadrant in determining the sign of the sine value.
