|dw:1394584382690:dw|The x and y are equal in the first quadrant. Do you remember what angle gives us the same x and y?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

if it's too difficult for you to conceptualize, you can instead be more technical and use the identities and stuff. \[\Large\bf\sf \arctan\left(\frac{y}{x}\right)\quad=\quad \theta\]Plugging in our point,\[\Large\bf\sf \arctan\left(\frac{7}{7}\right)\quad=\quad \theta\] \[\Large\bf\sf \tan \theta=1\qquad\qquad \implies\qquad\qquad \theta=?\]

0?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

No at an angle of 0 degrees, x=1, y=0. They are not equal to one another there.

sin theta? I'm not sure really

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Just look at the picture... What angle does that `kind of` look like...

zepdrix (zepdrix):

90 degrees would be this angle|dw:1394585044764:dw|
