I'm assuming the "0"s are supposed to be the greek letter theta

The pythagorean identity

is the same as

This is because . In short, squaring a negative leads to a positive.

This means that regardless of what theta is, the distance from the origin to the point

will always be 1.

The point

means that and .
So which is simply . This is the equation for the unit circle.

The unit circle is a special circle with radius 1 and centered at the origin.
All such points on the unit circle are exactly 1 unit away from the origin.
The point

is located on the unit circle.

In summary, the answer is 1.
