Answer 1

The unit circle is a circle with a radius of 1 centered at the origin (0, 0).

The coordinates of a point on the unit circle with an angle $ \frac{\pi}{4} $ are found using trigonometric functions:

$ x = \cos \left( \frac{\pi}{4} \right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} $

$ y = \sin \left( \frac{\pi}{4} \right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} $

Therefore, the coordinates are $ \left( \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right) $.

To determine the coordinates of a point on the unit circle with an angle $ frac{pi}{4} $, we use the cosine and sine functions:

$ x = cos left( frac{pi}{4}
ight) = frac{sqrt{2}}{2} $

$ y = sin left( frac{pi}{4}
ight) = frac{sqrt{2}}{2} $

Thus, the coordinates are $ left( frac{sqrt{2}}{2}, frac{sqrt{2}}{2}
ight) $.
