Explanation
Correct answer: A.
Choice A is correct. The sine of a number is the y-coordinate of the point arrived at by traveling a distance of units counterclockwise around the unit circle from the starting point . Since the unit circle has a circumference of units, it follows that one full rotation around the circle is equal to a distance of units. Therefore, a distance of units around the circle from the starting point would result in exactly full rotations, arriving back at the point . So, is equal to the y-coordinate of the point , which is .
