Find the coordinates of a point on the unit circle at an angle of $ frac{pi}{6} $

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

Ava Martin

To find the coordinates of a point on the unit circle at an angle of $ \frac{\pi}{6} $, we use the fact that the coordinates are given by $ ( \cos(\theta), \sin(\theta)) $ where $ \theta $ is the angle:

$ \theta = \frac{\pi}{6} $

Therefore:

$ \cos(\frac{\pi}{6}) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} $

$ \sin(\frac{\pi}{6}) = \frac{1}{2} $

The coordinates are:

$ \left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, \frac{1}{2} \right) $

The coordinates of a point on the unit circle at an angle of $ frac{pi}{6} $ can be found using:

$ cos( heta) $

and

$ sin( heta) $

For $ heta = frac{pi}{6} $:

$ cos(frac{pi}{6}) = frac{sqrt{3}}{2} $

$ sin(frac{pi}{6}) = frac{1}{2} $

The coordinates are:

$ left( frac{sqrt{3}}{2}, frac{1}{2}
ight) $

For $ heta = frac{pi}{6} $, the coordinates are:

$ left( frac{sqrt{3}}{2}, frac{1}{2}
ight) $
