Find the value of $sin( heta)$ and $cos( heta)$ for $ heta = 45^circ$ on the unit circle.

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

Samuel Scott

To find $\sin(45^\circ)$ and $\cos(45^\circ)$, we can use the unit circle properties.

On the unit circle, the angle $45^\circ$ (or $\frac{\pi}{4}$ radians) corresponds to the point $\left( \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right)$.

Therefore:

$\sin(45^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$\cos(45^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

Answer 2

Alex Thompson

William King

For $ heta = 45^circ$, we look at the unit circle where $ heta$ is $45^circ$.

The coordinates for $45^circ$ are $left( frac{sqrt{2}}{2}, frac{sqrt{2}}{2}
ight)$.

Thus:

$sin(45^circ) = frac{sqrt{2}}{2}$

$cos(45^circ) = frac{sqrt{2}}{2}$

Answer 3

Amelia Mitchell

Daniel Carter

At $ heta = 45^circ$ on the unit circle, the coordinates are $left( frac{sqrt{2}}{2}, frac{sqrt{2}}{2}
ight)$.

Therefore:

$sin(45^circ) = frac{sqrt{2}}{2}$

$cos(45^circ) = frac{sqrt{2}}{2}$
