Find the coordinates of the point where the angle $ frac{pi}{4} $ intersects the unit circle

Answer 1

Benjamin Clark

To find the coordinates of the point where the angle $ \frac{\pi}{4} $ intersects the unit circle, we use the unit circle definition. The unit circle has a radius of 1, and the coordinates of the points on the circle are given by the cosine and sine of the angle.

For the angle $ \frac{\pi}{4} $, we have:

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

$ \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 find the coordinates of the point where the angle $ frac{pi}{4} $ intersects the unit circle, we know that the coordinates are given by $ ( cos( heta), sin( heta) ) $.

For $ heta = frac{pi}{4} $, we have:

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

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

Thus, the coordinates are:

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

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

$ left( cosleft(frac{pi}{4}
ight), sinleft(frac{pi}{4}
ight)
ight) = left( frac{sqrt{2}}{2}, frac{sqrt{2}}{2}
ight) $
