questions below. (a) Suppose while their calculator was working they had found that the point P ≈ (0.656, 0.755) on the unit circle corresponded to the angle 49º. How could they now use that information to estimate sin 131° and cos 131° without a calculator? sin 131° cos 131° Number Number (b) Suppose while their calculator was working they had found that the point Q (0.934, 0.358) on the unit circle corresponded to the angle 21°. How could they now use that information to estimate sin 339° and cos 339° without a calculator? sin 339 Number cos 339° Number
