This example demonstrates the sine function on the unit circle. By using the unit circle, we can intuitively understand the properties of the sine function. The commands used in the construction summary include: Intersect (intersection), Circle (circle), Point (point), and CircleArc (circle arc). Suitable for high school mathematics education, particularly for learning trigonometry and coordinate geometry.
