Lily Perez

Find the coordinates on the unit circle for the angle $ \theta = \frac{\pi}{4} $:

The coordinates are given by $ (\cos(\theta), \sin(\theta)) $.

For $ \theta = \frac{\pi}{4} $:

$ \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) $.

Answer 2

Charlotte Davis

Find the coordinates on the unit circle for the angle $ heta = frac{pi}{3} $:

The coordinates are $ (cos( heta), sin( heta)) $.

For $ heta = frac{pi}{3} $:

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

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

The coordinates are $ left( frac{1}{2}, frac{sqrt{3}}{2}
ight) $
.

Find the coordinates on the unit circle for the angle $ heta = frac{pi}{6} $:

The coordinates are $ (cos( heta), sin( heta)) $.

For $ heta = frac{pi}{6} $:

$ cosleft(frac{pi}{6}
ight) = frac{sqrt{3}}{2} $

$ sinleft(frac{pi}{6}
ight) = frac{1}{2} $

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