Find the coordinates on the unit circle for an angle of $frac{pi}{3}$ radians.

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

Henry Green

To find the coordinates of an angle of $\frac{\pi}{3}$ radians on the unit circle, we use the cosine and sine values of the angle.

The cosine of $\frac{\pi}{3}$ is $\frac{1}{2}$.

The sine of $\frac{\pi}{3}$ is $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$.

Therefore, the coordinates are:

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

First, identify the angle $frac{pi}{3}$ on the unit circle. This angle is in the first quadrant.

The coordinates can be found using the cosine and sine values for $frac{pi}{3}$:

$cosleft(frac{pi}{3}
ight) = frac{1}{2}$

$sinleft(frac{pi}{3}
ight) = frac{sqrt{3}}{2}$

Thus, the coordinates of the point are:

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

For an angle of $frac{pi}{3}$ radians, the unit circle coordinates are:

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