Suppose there is a vector which makes an angle of "a" with the x-axis, then as it can be seen from the diagram, that if we drop a projection from the end of the vector to x axis, then it will make a right angle triangle and now we can apply relations of trigonometry that:
sin = perpendicular/hypotenuse
cos = base/hypotenuse
Hence in triangle OAA'
OA = A
OA' = A cos(A)
AA' = A sin(A)
