$\sin (θ) = 0$

Use the definition of sine to find the known sides of the unit circle right triangle. The quadrant determines the sign on each of the values.

$\sin (θ) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$

Find the adjacent side of the unit circle triangle. Since the hypotenuse and opposite sides are known, use the Pythagorean theorem to find the remaining side.

$Adjacent = - \sqrt{{hypotenuse}^{2} - {opposite}^{2}}$

Replace the known values in the equation.

$Adjacent = - \sqrt{{(1)}^{2} - {(0)}^{2}}$

Simplify inside the radical.
