What are the coordinates of the point on the unit circle corresponding to an angle of $45^circ$?

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

John Anderson

To determine the coordinates of the point on the unit circle at $45^\circ$, we use the fact that the unit circle has a radius of 1 and the coordinates are given by $ (\cos \theta, \sin \theta) $.

For $\theta = 45^\circ$, we have:

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

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

Therefore, the coordinates are:

$ \left( \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right) $

Answer 2

Alex Thompson

Benjamin Clark

To find the coordinates for an angle of $45^circ$ on the unit circle, remember that the unit circle is defined by the equation $ x^2 + y^2 = 1 $. The coordinates can be expressed as $ (cos heta, sin heta) $.

For $ heta = 45^circ$:

$cos 45^circ = frac{1}{sqrt{2}} = frac{sqrt{2}}{2}$

$sin 45^circ = frac{1}{sqrt{2}} = frac{sqrt{2}}{2}$

Thus, the coordinates are:

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

On the unit circle, the coordinates corresponding to an angle of $45^circ$ are given by $ (cos heta, sin heta) $.

For $ heta = 45^circ$:

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

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

Therefore, the coordinates are:

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