$\begin{aligned} & \sin \theta=\frac{\text { Perpendicular }}{\text { Hypotenuse }}=\frac{\mathrm{BC}}{\mathrm{AC}} \\ & \cos \theta=\frac{\text { Base }}{\text { Hypotenuse }}=\frac{\mathrm{AB}}{\mathrm{AC}} \\ & \tan \theta=\frac{\text { Perpendicular }}{\text { Base }}=\frac{\mathrm{BC}}{\mathrm{AB}} \\ & \operatorname{cosec}=\frac{1}{\sin \theta} \\ & \sec =\frac{1}{\cos \theta} \\ & \cot =\frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}=\frac{1}{\tan \theta}\end{aligned}$

The above circle is the standard unit circle (centre at the origin and radius is equal to 1 unit)
$\begin{aligned} & \sin \theta=\frac{x}{r}=\frac{x}{1}=1 \\ & \cos \theta=\frac{y}{r}=\frac{y}{1}=1\end{aligned}$
For a standard unit circle, the value of x and y give us the values of $\cos \theta$ and $\sin \theta$ respectively.
