The properties of the cosine and sine function are based on the X and Y coordinates of a point on a circle that has a radius of 1 and a center at the origin (X=0,Y=0). If the angle of the line from the origin to the edge of the circle, at any arbitrary point (X,Y), with respect to the X axis is theta, then sine(theta) is X, and cosine(theta) is Y.
