Question 918945: Evaluate sin(theta) and cosine (theta) for the angle theta. Please help me step by step I am very confused by this topic. Thank you

The graph gives you a point of (0.6,-0.8) on the x y coordinate plane with a radius of what appears to be 1 ( unit circle )
sin (theta) =
cos (theta) =

---------------
(0.6,-0.8) is a point on the unit circle since 0.6^2 + (-0.8)^2 = 1
r is the hypotenuse of the right triangle, r = 1
sin (theta) = y/r = -0.8
cos (theta) = x/r = 0.6
