Unit Circle and Cosine/Sine Functions

(By Thomas Scofield)


\textrm{The angle } \theta \textrm{ determines the direction of the (red) ray. The values of } \cos(\theta), \sin(\theta) \textrm{ are the } x, y \textrm{ coordinates} \\ \textrm{(respectively) of the (black) point of intersection between the ray and the (black) unit circle. }
