# Introduction
The unit circle has a center a $(0, 0)$, and a radius of $1$ with no defined unit.
Sine and cosine can be used to find the coordinates of specific points on the unit circle.
**Sine likes $y$, and cosine likes $x$.**
When sine is positive, the $y$ value is positive. When $x$ is positive, the cosine is positive.
