Find the coordinates of the point on the unit circle corresponding to an angle of $ heta = frac{pi}{4}$

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

William King

For an angle \(\theta = \frac{\pi}{4}\) on the unit circle, we use the trigonometric functions sine and cosine to find the coordinates. The coordinates are given by \((\cos \theta, \sin \theta)\).

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

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

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

Answer 2

Amelia Mitchell

On the unit circle, coordinates for any angle ( heta) are determined by ( cos heta ) and ( sin heta ). Given ( heta = frac{pi}{4} ), we find:

$ cos frac{pi}{4} = frac{sqrt{2}}{2} $

$ sin frac{pi}{4} = frac{sqrt{2}}{2} $

Hence, the location on the unit circle is $ left( frac{sqrt{2}}{2}, frac{sqrt{2}}{2}
ight) $

Answer 3

Abigail Nelson

The unit circle coordinates for ( heta = frac{pi}{4} ) are found as follows:

$ cos frac{pi}{4} = frac{sqrt{2}}{2} $

$ sin frac{pi}{4} = frac{sqrt{2}}{2} $

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