Find the sine of the angle $ heta$ if $ heta$ is $frac{pi}{6}$ radians on the unit circle.

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

Chloe Evans

To find the sine of the angle $\theta$ when $\theta = \frac{\pi}{6}$ radians:

Step 1: Locate $\frac{\pi}{6}$ on the unit circle. The angle $\frac{\pi}{6}$ is 30 degrees.

Step 2: Use the definition of sine on the unit circle, which is the y-coordinate of the point where the terminal side of the angle intersects the unit circle.

Step 3: For $\theta = \frac{\pi}{6}$, the coordinates on the unit circle are $(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, \frac{1}{2})$.

Therefore, $\sin(\frac{\pi}{6}) = \frac{1}{2}$.

To find $sin(frac{pi}{6})$:

Step 1: Convert $frac{pi}{6}$ radians to degrees, which is $30^{circ}$.

Step 2: Recall that on the unit circle, the coordinates corresponding to $30^{circ}$ are $(frac{sqrt{3}}{2}, frac{1}{2})$.

Step 3: The sine of an angle is the y-coordinate of the corresponding point on the unit circle.

So, $sin(frac{pi}{6}) = frac{1}{2}$.

Find the sine of $ heta = frac{pi}{6}$:

The point on the unit circle at $frac{pi}{6}$ radians is $(frac{sqrt{3}}{2}, frac{1}{2})$.

Therefore, $sin(frac{pi}{6}) = frac{1}{2}$.
