What is Unit Circle Calculator?
The unit circle calculator helps you compute the sine, cosine, and tangent for a given angle in both degrees and radians. It is a valuable tool for solving problems in trigonometry and understanding how angles relate to their trigonometric values on the unit circle.
How to Use Unit Circle Calculator?
To use the Unit Circle Calculator, input an angle either in degrees or radians. Select the unit (degrees or radians), and click "Calculate" to find the sine, cosine, and tangent values for that angle. These values correspond to the point on the unit circle associated with that angle.
Formula of Unit Circle Calculator
The unit circle calculator uses the basic trigonometric formulas to calculate sine, cosine, and tangent for a given angle θ:
sine(θ) = y-coordinate of the point on the unit circle
cosine(θ) = x-coordinate of the point on the unit circle
tangent(θ) = sine(θ) / cosine(θ)
The unit circle is a circle with a radius of 1 centered at the origin (0, 0) on the Cartesian plane.
