Circular Functions For a unit circle with the radius equal to one (1),
the circular functions are defined as:
Angle Coordinates

𝟗𝟎° (0, 1) 1 1
𝟏𝟖𝟎° (−1, 0) sin𝜃 = 𝑦 = 𝑜 csc𝜃 = 𝑦 = 𝑜
𝟐𝟕𝟎° (0, −1) 1 1
𝟑𝟔𝟎° (1, 0) cos𝜃 = 𝑥 = 𝑎 sec𝜃 = 𝑥 = 𝑎
𝑦 𝑜 𝑥 𝑎
tan𝜃 = 𝑥 = 𝑎 cot𝜃 = 𝑦 = 𝑜
To check whether the given coordinates (x, y) lie
on the unit circle:
𝑥2 + 𝑦2 = 1 Let (x, y) be the point of intersection of the
terminal side of angle (𝜃) with a circle of radius,
Therefore, if the equation is equal to 1, it is a unit
r, then the circular functions are defined as:
