Explain how you would compute the values of the six trigonometric functions of any real number  with the help of the coordinate plane?
----
Example:
Try Real Number = "2"
Let sin(2) = opp/hyp = k/1
---
adj = sqrt[k^2-1^2]
----
So:
sin(2) = k
cos(2) = adj/hyp = (k^2-1)/1 = k^2-1
tan(2) = opp/adj = k/(k^2-1)
----
csc(2) = 1/k
sec(2) = 1/(k^2-1)
cot(2) = (k^2-1)/k
