The unit circle is a circle with radius 1 centered at the origin. It's fundamental to trigonometry because the coordinates of any point on the unit circle are (cos(θ), sin(θ)), where θ is the angle. Our interactive unit circle calculator lets you explore angles and see their corresponding coordinates and trigonometric values.

Key Points

Important angles on the unit circle.

: (1, 0)
At 0°, cos = 1, sin = 0.
90°: (0, 1)
At 90°, cos = 0, sin = 1.
180°: (-1, 0)
At 180°, cos = -1, sin = 0.
270°: (0, -1)
At 270°, cos = 0, sin = -1.
