Find the value of $ cosleft( frac{pi}{3}
ight) $

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

Maria Rodriguez

The value of $ \cos\left( \frac{\pi}{3} \right) $ can be found using the unit circle. The angle $ \frac{\pi}{3} $ corresponds to 60 degrees. On the unit circle, the coordinates for the angle 60 degrees are:

$ \left( \cos\left( \frac{\pi}{3} \right), \sin\left( \frac{\pi}{3} \right) \right) = \left( \frac{1}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right) $

Therefore, the value of $ \cos\left( \frac{\pi}{3} \right) $ is:

$ \frac{1}{2} $

Answer 2

Lucas Brown

To find $ cosleft( frac{pi}{3}
ight) $, note that it corresponds to 60 degrees on the unit circle. The coordinates at 60 degrees are:

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

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