I’m pretty dumb, so I don’t understand this one.

Probably that trigonometry is the highest math the average person will take?

You leave my unit circle alone!

Why?

Believe this was featured in a paper that recently used trig to prove the Pythagorean theorem (previously thought to be a circular definition). I think some highschoolers cracked it as part of a mathematics challenge or something.

Why is it 1

It was freely chosen for simplicity.
If you choose another R, the other sides (x and y) become Rcos(th) and Rsin(th)
I don’t understand what is harmful about the unity circle either.

Because it’s a unit circle.

SOH CAH TOA is just a trick to make rote memorization of procedure easier. Understanding the unit circle will let you understand what trigonometry is actually doing.

the unit circle lives in my nightmares.

Is this genuine? Like is the unit circle really fucking you up that bad?
