Find the coordinates of a point on the unit circle corresponding to an angle of $ frac{5pi}{6} $

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

Daniel Carter

To find the coordinates of a point on the unit circle at an angle of $ \frac{5\pi}{6} $, we use the unit circle definitions for sine and cosine:

$ \text{cos}(\theta) = \text{x-coordinate} $

$ \text{sin}(\theta) = \text{y-coordinate} $

For $ \frac{5\pi}{6} $:

$ \text{cos}(\frac{5\pi}{6}) = – \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} $

$ \text{sin}(\frac{5\pi}{6}) = \frac{1}{2} $

So, the coordinates are:

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

To find the coordinates of a point on the unit circle at an angle of $ frac{5pi}{6} $:

$ ext{cos}(frac{5pi}{6}) = – frac{sqrt{3}}{2} $

$ ext{sin}(frac{5pi}{6}) = frac{1}{2} $

So, the coordinates are:

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

The coordinates at an angle of $ frac{5pi}{6} $ are:

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