A unit circle is simply a circle of radius 1.

1 what?

1 anything.

The most important thing is that if we choose a radius of “1,” it makes it easy to understand the circumference of the circle.

The circumference of a circle is given by C = 2πr.

So the circumference of a unit circle is 2π since 2 * π * 1 = 2π.

This allows us to measure the angle of the circle not in degrees, but in radians, which is a much more useful unit of measure since it is a natural unit.
