Determine the coordinates on the unit circle for $150^circ$ and the corresponding angles in radians.

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

Emily Hall

First, convert $150^\circ$ to radians:

$\theta = 150^\circ \times \frac{\pi}{180^\circ} = \frac{5\pi}{6}$

Next, use the radian measure to find the coordinates on the unit circle. The coordinates for an angle of $\frac{5\pi}{6}$ are:

$\left(\cos\left(\frac{5\pi}{6}\right), \sin\left(\frac{5\pi}{6}\right)\right) = \left(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, \frac{1}{2}\right)$

Thus, the coordinates for $150^\circ$ are $\left(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, \frac{1}{2}\right)$.

Answer 2

Alex Thompson

Isabella Walker

First, convert $150^circ$ to radians:

$150^circ imes frac{pi}{180^circ} = frac{5pi}{6}$

Using the coordinates of a unit circle, for the angle $frac{5pi}{6}$, the cosine and sine values are:

$cosleft(frac{5pi}{6}
ight) = -frac{sqrt{3}}{2}, sinleft(frac{5pi}{6}
ight) = frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, the coordinates are $left(-frac{sqrt{3}}{2}, frac{1}{2}
ight)$.

Henry Green

Convert $150^circ$ to radians:

$frac{5pi}{6}$

Coordinates on the unit circle for $frac{5pi}{6}$ are:

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