Trigonometry, Unit Circle Pythagorean Identity - Cos/Sin to Identity (Degrees, Typical Notation)

This math topic focuses on applying the Pythagorean identity within the context of trigonometry and the unit circle, specifically in degrees using typical notation. The problems involve deducing the relations of sine and cosine functions squared for given angles, demonstrating the use of the identity \(\cos^2\theta + \sin^2\theta = 1\). Each problem presents a specific degree measurement, and the task is to determine which trigonometric squared identity correctly applies to the X or Y dimension of the presented triangle. This set of problems is fundamental for understanding relationships in trigonometry within a unit circle framework.
