Determine the sine and cosine values of an angle $ heta$ in radians on the unit circle given that $ heta = frac{5pi}{4}$.

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

Christopher Garcia

Given $\theta = \frac{5\pi}{4}$, we determine the sine and cosine values by examining the unit circle.

The angle $\frac{5\pi}{4}$ is located in the third quadrant, where sine and cosine values are negative. Specifically:

$ \sin \left( \frac{5\pi}{4} \right) = -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} $

$ \cos \left( \frac{5\pi}{4} \right) = -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} $

Answer 2

Alex Thompson

Emily Hall

When given $ heta = frac{5pi}{4}$, the sine and cosine values can be found using the unit circle. In the third quadrant:

$ sin left( frac{5pi}{4}
ight) = -frac{sqrt{2}}{2} $

$ cos left( frac{5pi}{4}
ight) = -frac{sqrt{2}}{2} $

Answer 3

Amelia Mitchell

Maria Rodriguez

For $ heta = frac{5pi}{4}$, the sine and cosine values are:

$ sin left( frac{5pi}{4}
ight) = -frac{sqrt{2}}{2} $

$ cos left( frac{5pi}{4}
ight) = -frac{sqrt{2}}{2} $
