In this video, we show a single diagram consisting of various triangles that connects the six primary trig functions (sine, cosine, tangent, secant, cosecant, and cotangent) to lengths of line segments created from the unit circle (circle of radius 1). We use the diagram to explain features about why tangent and secant aren't defined at pi/2, the possible outputs of these six functions, and the Pythagorean trig identities. We also briefly discuss the fact that the "co" on three of the functions refer to the "complementary angle."
