recall that a Unit Circle is called that because its radius is just 1.

now, using the pythagorean theorem, c = √( a² + b²) whatever the values for "a" and "b" in the (a,b) point, they must yield a value c = 1, a radius of 1.



\bf \boxed{A}~\hspace{5em}c=\sqrt{\left( (6)/(7) \right)^2+\left( (√(13))/(7) \right)^2}\implies c=\sqrt{(36)/(49)+(13)/(49)}\implies c=\sqrt{(49)/(49)} \\\\\\ ~\hspace{7em}c=√(1)\implies c=1~~\textit{\Large \checkmark} \\\\\\ \boxed{B}~\hspace{5em}c=\sqrt{\left( (5)/(13) \right)^2+\left( (12)/(13) \right)^2}\implies c=\sqrt{(25)/(169)+(144)/(169)}\implies c=\sqrt{(169)/(169)} \\\\\\ ~\hspace{7em}c=√(1)\implies c=1~~\textit{\Large \checkmark}
