Find the value of $sin(45°)$ using the unit circle.

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

Amelia Mitchell

First, we need to locate the angle 45° on the unit circle. The coordinates of this angle on the unit circle are (√2/2, √2/2).

The sine of the angle is the y-coordinate of the point on the unit circle corresponding to that angle.

Therefore,

$\sin(45°) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

Answer 2

Alex Thompson

Charlotte Davis

To find the value of $sin(45°)$, we begin by locating 45° on the unit circle. The point corresponding to 45° on the unit circle has coordinates (√2/2, √2/2).

Since the sine of an angle is given by the y-coordinate of the corresponding point on the unit circle, we have:

$sin(45°) = frac{sqrt{2}}{2}$

On the unit circle, the point for 45° is (√2/2, √2/2). The sine of 45° is the y-coordinate:

$sin(45°) = frac{sqrt{2}}{2}$
