Problem Set 1

This document provides a problem set on preliminary trigonometry concepts including: the coordinate system and distance formula, angles and angular measures, triangles, the circle including arcs and central angles, and arcs, sectors, and segments of circles. Students are asked to find distances, plot points, determine quadrants, convert between degree/minute/second and radian measures, identify possible triangle side lengths, find missing angles of triangles, determine arc quadrants, and calculate arc lengths.
