In the unit circle the hypotenuse of the triangle formed is equal to radius of circle , which = 1. The point on the circle formed by the intersection of the hypotenuse is (cos q , sin q) where q is the angle between the x axis and the hypotenuse. As the hypotenuse = 1 the opposite and adjacent sides of the triangle < 1 so sin and cos of q must both be <= 1.
The trigonometric function gives the ratio of different sides of a right-angle triangle. The value of sine and cosine will be always less than a unit.
What are Trigonometric functions?
The trigonometric function gives the ratio of different sides of a right-angle triangle.
[tex]\rm Sin \theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}\\\\\\Cos \theta=\dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}\\\\\\Tan \theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}\\\\\\[/tex]
where perpendicular is the side of the triangle which is opposite to the angle, and the hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle which is opposite to the 90° angle.
In a unit circle, the radius of the circle represents the hypotenuse of the triangle. Since the hypotenuse is the largest side of the triangle, the ratio of the perpendicular to the hypotenuse and the base to the hypotenuse both will be less than the hypotenuse, therefore, 1.
Hence, the value of sine and cosine will be always less than a unit.
