How to find trig values of negative radians using unit circle?

for example: sin of negative pi

thanks in advanced

also if someone could explain how to find the values for degrees using the unit circle, I would appreciate it a lot.

again, thanks

    negative pi corresponds to positive pi on the unit circle. Just add whatever negative radian value you have to 2pi and you will get a corresponding angle with identical cos and sin (and tan, etc.) values.

    Also, the conversion to go from radians to degrees is

    degrees = radians * 180 / pi

    so to convert pi / 2 radians to degrees:

    degrees = pi/2 * 180 / pi = 90

    Hope this helps.

    -4/5 is not an angle it's value of cos(angle)=-4/5 if you draw a right triangle with dimensions 3,4,5 then exist an angle which has cos(angle)=4/5 if your triangle has hypotenusa in quadrant 2 then cos(angle)=-4/5
