The sine function in the unit circle

In the unit circle, the angle alpha is assigned to the
y-coordinate of the point of intersection S on the circle as sine. This
means that in the unit circle the cosine of alpha is equal to the sine of
alpha.
Cognitions that are recognised on the base of a unit
circle
sin (90° +
x) = sin (90° - x)
sin (180° +
x) = - sin (180° - x)
sin
a =
- sin (360° - a)
sin
a =
sin (360° + a)
Sine function in the coordinate system

The sine curve is an odd function, that is symetrical to
the point 0 (0;0) and repeats itself after 3600 (periodically).
