Unit Circle (sine/cosine - degrees only)

We use the Unit Circle to construct the sine and the cosine functions. The unit circle is called the unit circle because:

• It is only one circle

• The area of the circle is equal to one

• Because its radius is equal to one

• Because its circumference is equal to one
