Question

What makes a unit circle distinct from just any circle drawn on the coordinate plane? In your answer use terms like; origin, coordinate plane, x - and y - axes to explain.

Answer 1

What makes a unit circle distinct from just any circle drawn on the coordinate plane is that the unit circle starts with the origin finding the radius,It also consists of forming a triangle on the radius with the x-axes,y-axes and 1 which is always the radius on the unit circle which is very different from a coordinate plane.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The unit circle is a circle with a center at the origin and a radius of 1. The circumference of the circle can be used to represent a number line. This allows trig functions to be thought of as two dimensional functions represented on the coordinate plane with x and y terms, rather than just the ratio of a right triangle.
