How to determine the point on the unit circle given an angle

👉 Learn how to find the point on the unit circle given the angle of the point. A unit circle is a circle whose radius is 1. Given an angle in radians, to find the coordinate of points on the unit circle made by the given angle with the x-axis at the center of the unit circle, we plot the angle on the x-y-coordinate plane and with the help of Pythagoras theorem or the special angles, we can determine the point on the unit circle made by the given angle.

I can’t believe my tuition is 12000 a year and this free video did more for me than my $1500 pre calc professor 🙃🔫

Given the fact that we are doing online college and I haven't seen my professor's face this whole semester.. this saved me because I have been working on the topic for 3 days now on my own and I was close to throwing in the towel.

[@octopudding]

I have a midterm today (its 1am rn) and im just now understanding how to do this thanks to this guy. it doesnt help that my precalc class is a mini session class so it covers twice as much in a week ;-;

But what if the denominator is a number that is not on the unit circle? Example: sin 8pi/7. How would you do that?

wow! you teach math like no other math teacher! Thank you!!! It was very helpful!

But then how do I find the point if my reference angle is not 30, 60 or 90 or any of those standard reference angles

Find the positive acute distance to the x-axis

[@Onyx8Moon]

cool!!!

[@zyllestose2791]

this made me understand it better, but how do you state which quadrant it lies on?

[@expression3639]

Probably too late, this being a year later, but I will answer anyway. Mentally divide the circle like he explained at the beginning according to the denominator and start counting counter-clockwise if the point is positive or clockwise if the point in negative.
So for example, -5PI/4 : You divide the top half in 4 and the bottom half in 4. Then you count clockwise because the number is negative ; 1, 2, 3, 4 (now you've arrived at the top half) and 5. So 2nd quadrant.

i couldn’t learn this in my thousand dollar college pre calc course but i could from a random professor on youtube for free….

👏🏽👏🏽Why do others make it so complicated 😭

[@Lily-zc5gu]

What if the numerator is 113 and the denominator is 2 ? Is there some equation for this ?

04:50 Why are the denomintators 2? Why are we doing this little fun thing applying numbers to the numerators? Where do they come from?

[@billjamal4764]

Free my boy Ryan he aint done nothing

[@zachsmith5643]

This still confuses me. How do we find where the x and y coordinates come from? I have questions in my homework that ask me to find the points but no one explains the math behind finding them. Were just "supposed to know" what they are and it's making it really frustrating for me because I can't remember every x and y value for every angle in the unit circle. Someone please explain this to me

[@expression3639]

Too late, but I will answer anyway.
A unit circle is a circle where the radius is equal to 1.
So you have a circle with a radius of 1. Then you have an angle that starts at 0 (think of a protractor) and the other leg of that angle lands somewhere on the circle. Let's have you mentally picture a 45° angle for the sake of it. At the end of that leg, marking the 45° angle, is a point. Now if you will notice, this gives you 2 points. The middle of the circle and the point at 45°. From the 45° point, mentally draw a height all the way down to the 0° leg and form a right triangle.
From all of this, you know 2 things about this triangle. The hypothenuse also represents the radius of this circle and because this circle is a unit circle, you know that its radius is 1 so the hypotenuse is also 1. You also know one of the angles, which is 45°. Using this, you can use trigonometry to find the length of each of the other sides of this triangle. The vertical (opposite) side represents the y coordinate and the horizontal (adjacent) side represents the x coordinate.
