1. Assuming that the given point is on the terminal arm of an angle A in standard position, where 0 <= A <= 360, find Sin A, Cos
A and Tan A and the measure of angle A, to the nearest degree:
a) (6,8) b) (5,12) c) (3,4) d) (5,12)
2. Find A, where 0 <= A <= 360, for each of the following:
a) Sin A = 0.5
b) Cos A = 0.8
c) Tan A = 1.2
d) Sin A = 0.5
