So berechnen Sie Unit Circle

learn.whatIsHeading

The unit circle is a circle with radius 1 centred at the origin. It provides the foundation for trigonometry — the sine and cosine of any angle equal the y and x coordinates of the corresponding point on the circle.

Formel

x² + y² = 1; point = (cos θ, sin θ)
θ
angle from positive x-axis (radians or degrees)
x
x-coordinate (cosine value) (dimensionless)
y
y-coordinate (sine value) (dimensionless)

Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung

  1. 1For angle θ: point = (cos θ, sin θ)
  2. 2sin²θ + cos²θ = 1 (Pythagorean identity)
  3. 3tan θ = sin θ / cos θ
  4. 4Angles repeat every 360° (2π radians)

Gelöste Beispiele

Eingabe

Ergebnis
sin = 0.5, cos = √3/2 ≈ 0.866, tan ≈ 0.577
Eingabe
θ = 45°
Ergebnis
sin = cos = 1/√2 ≈ 0.707, tan = 1

Häufig gestellte Fragen

Why is the unit circle important?

The unit circle extends trigonometry beyond triangles. Every angle and its trig values map directly to circle coordinates.

What does the Pythagorean identity sin²θ + cos²θ = 1 represent on the unit circle?

It states that any point (cos θ, sin θ) on the unit circle satisfies the circle equation x² + y² = 1.

How many degrees are in one full rotation on the unit circle?

360° or 2π radians. After that, angles repeat with the same sine and cosine values.
