The unit circle has a radius of 1 unit, then to find the trigonometry function of an angle using it we will use a point on it (x, y)
To find cos(m) we will divide the adjacent side by the hypotenuse
The adjacent side is x
The hypotenuse is r = 1, then
![cos\left(m\right)=(x)/(1)=x](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/x8atkcqmb26qt3jdwzjk7mtm7trtgca024.png)
Then:
x corresponding to cosine
To find sin(m) we will divide the opposite side by the hypotenuse
The opposite side is y
The hypotenuse is r = 1, then
![sin\left(m\right)=(y)/(1)=y](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/xx9c88y50u3xeit9mw1in7ssqgn39fqpfu.png)
Then:
y corresponding to sine
