Determine the sine and cosine of an angle in a unit circle

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

Samuel Scott

Given an angle of $\frac{\pi}{4}$ radians, determine the coordinates on the unit circle.

In a unit circle, the coordinates for $\frac{\pi}{4}$ are $(\cos(\frac{\pi}{4}), \sin(\frac{\pi}{4}))$.

Using the known values:

$\cos(\frac{\pi}{4}) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} $

$\sin(\frac{\pi}{4}) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} $

Therefore, the coordinates are $(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})$.

Answer 2

Alex Thompson

William King

Given an angle of $frac{pi}{6}$ radians, determine the coordinates on the unit circle.

In a unit circle, the coordinates for $frac{pi}{6}$ are $(cos(frac{pi}{6}), sin(frac{pi}{6}))$.

Using the known values:

$cos(frac{pi}{6}) = frac{sqrt{3}}{2} $

$sin(frac{pi}{6}) = frac{1}{2} $

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

Answer 3

Amelia Mitchell

Lucas Brown

Given an angle of $frac{pi}{3}$ radians, determine the coordinates on the unit circle.

In a unit circle, the coordinates for $frac{pi}{3}$ are $(cos(frac{pi}{3}), sin(frac{pi}{3}))$.

Using the known values:

$cos(frac{pi}{3}) = frac{1}{2} $

$sin(frac{pi}{3}) = frac{sqrt{3}}{2} $

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