Find the coordinates of a point on the unit circle at angle $frac{pi}{4}$

Answer 1

To find the coordinates of a point on the unit circle at angle $\frac{\pi}{4}$, we use the trigonometric functions:

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

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

Since:

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

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

The coordinates are:

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

For angle $frac{pi}{4}$ on the unit circle:

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

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

Coordinates:

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

At angle $frac{pi}{4}$ on the unit circle:

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