Find the coordinates of the point at an angle of $ frac{pi}{3} $ on the unit circle

Answer 1

To find the coordinates of the point at an angle of $ \frac{\pi}{3} $ on the unit circle, we use the unit circle definition where the coordinates are given by $ (\cos\theta, \sin\theta) $.

For $ \theta = \frac{\pi}{3} $, we have:

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

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

So, the coordinates are:

$ \left( \frac{1}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right) $

To find the coordinates at $ frac{pi}{3} $ on the unit circle, use $ (cos heta, sin heta) $:

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

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

Thus, the coordinates are:

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

At $ frac{pi}{3} $, the coordinates on the unit circle are:

$ left( cos left( frac{pi}{3}
ight), sin left( frac{pi}{3}
ight)
ight) $

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