Answer

Radius: $r=2$ $t=0$: Point: $(0,2)$ Orientation: clockwise. One revolution: $t=2\pi$

Work Step by Step

$x=2~sin~t$ $y=2~cos~t$ $x^2+y^2=4~sin^2t+4~cos^2t$ $x^2+y^2=4(sin^2t+cos^2t)$ $x^2+y^2=2$ $x^2+y^2=2^2$ Radius: $r=2$ $t=0$: $x=2~sin~0=0$ $y=2~cos~0=2$ Initial point: $(0,2)$ $t=\frac{\pi}{2}$: $x=2~sin~\frac{\pi}{2}=2$ $y=2~cos~\frac{\pi}{2}=0$ Point: $(2,0)$ Orientation: clockwise. One revolution: $t=2\pi$ because it is the first value of $t\gt0$ such that $x=0$ and $y=2$ (Starting position)
