  2. Unit circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_circle

    Illustration of a unit circle. The variable t is an angle measure. Animation of the act of unrolling the circumference of a unit circle, a circle with radius of 1. Since C = 2πr, the circumference of a unit circle is 2π. In mathematics, a unit circle is a circle of unit radius—that is, a radius of 1. [1]

  4. Trigonometric functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometric_functions

    Basis of trigonometry: if two right triangles have equal acute angles, they are similar, so their corresponding side lengths are proportional.. In mathematics, the trigonometric functions (also called circular functions, angle functions or goniometric functions) [1] are real functions which relate an angle of a right-angled triangle to ratios of two side lengths.

  5. Small-angle approximation - Wikipedia

    The quantity 206 265 ″ is approximately equal to the number of arcseconds in a circle (1 296 000 ″), divided by 2π, or, the number of arcseconds in 1 radian. The exact formula is = ⁡ (″) and the above approximation follows when tan X is replaced by X.

    English: A unit circle with sine (sin), cosine (cos), tangent (tan), cotangent (cot), versine (versin), coversine (cvs), exsecant (exsec), excosecant (excsc) and (indirectly) also secant (sec), cosecant (csc) as well as chord (crd) and arc labeled as trigonometric functions of angle theta. It is designed as alternative construction to "Circle ...

  7. Exact trigonometric values - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_trigonometric_values

    In an equilateral triangle, the 3 angles are equal and sum to 180°, therefore each corner angle is 60°. Bisecting one corner, the special right triangle with angles 30-60-90 is obtained. By symmetry, the bisected side is half of the side of the equilateral triangle, so one concludes sin ⁡ ( 30 ∘ ) = 1 / 2 {\displaystyle \sin(30^{\circ ...
