It can be the basis of the trig functions because the hypotenuse, which is the radius, is 1.
For related reasons, it can represent unit vectors in any direction.

If you draw a unit circle, the sine function can be expressed as the y-coordinate of a point on the circle; the cosine function as the x-coordinate.
If the radius is two. it won't be a unit circle, a unit circle is defined as a circle with radius one.
The unit circle is a circle with its center at the origin and a radius of ' 1 '.
Yes, but only if the argument of the sine function is in radians.
The period of a trigonometric function, since it depends on the angle of a ray centered in a unit circle, is 2 pi radians or 360 degrees.

A unit circle is a circle with radius equal to one.
It is unknown who created the unit circle. Pythagoras did a lot of work related to the unit circle. In ancient times, Greek, Indian, and Arabian mathematicians used the unit circle.
A unit circle is not normally called 2 pi. Because the radius length measure of the unit circle is 1 unit, then the circumference of a unit circle is 2*pi, and its area is pi.
The unit circle is a circle that can be used to find trigonometric functions. The equation of the unit circle is x^2 + y^2 = 1. So it is any circle with radius 1.
A circle can have a unit of length which could be either a measure of its diameter or radius, or of its circumference. Or the circle could have the unit of area.
There really isn't much to memorize. The unit circle is a circle with a radius of 1.
A unit circle is one that has a radius of one. One = Unit, and hence the name.
