Find the coordinates on the unit circle for an angle of $135^{circ}$

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

Michael Moore

To find the coordinates on the unit circle for an angle of $135^{\circ}$, we first convert degrees to radians.

$135^{\circ} = \frac{135 \pi}{180} = \frac{3\pi}{4}$

Next, we use the unit circle definitions for sine and cosine at $\frac{3 \pi}{4}$.

$\cos \left( \frac{3\pi}{4} \right) = -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$\sin \left( \frac{3\pi}{4} \right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

Thus, the coordinates are:

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

Answer 2

Alex Thompson

Sophia Williams

To determine the coordinates at $135^{circ}$ on the unit circle, we start by converting the angle to radians:

$135^{circ} = frac{135 pi}{180} = frac{3pi}{4}$

Using the unit circle, we know:

$cos left( frac{3pi}{4}
ight) = -frac{sqrt{2}}{2}$

$sin left( frac{3pi}{4}
ight) = frac{sqrt{2}}{2}$

Therefore, the resulting coordinates are:

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

Convert $135^{circ}$ to radians:

$frac{135 pi}{180} = frac{3pi}{4}$

Find the cosine and sine:

$cos left( frac{3pi}{4}
ight) = -frac{sqrt{2}}{2}$

$sin left( frac{3pi}{4}
ight) = frac{sqrt{2}}{2}$

Coordinates:

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