Find the cosecant of the angle $frac{pi}{6}$ on the unit circle.

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

Maria Rodriguez

To find the cosecant of the angle $\frac{\pi}{6}$ on the unit circle, we first need to find the sine of $\frac{\pi}{6}$.

On the unit circle, the sine of $\frac{\pi}{6}$ is $\frac{1}{2}$.

The cosecant is the reciprocal of the sine.

So, the cosecant of $\frac{\pi}{6}$ is:

$\csc\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \frac{1}{\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)} = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{2}} = 2$

First, we determine the sine of $frac{pi}{6}$ from the unit circle.

We know that:

$sinleft(frac{pi}{6}
ight) = frac{1}{2}$

Then, we find the cosecant, which is the reciprocal of the sine:

$cscleft(frac{pi}{6}
ight) = frac{1}{sinleft(frac{pi}{6}
ight)} = frac{1}{frac{1}{2}} = 2$

Thus, the cosecant of $frac{pi}{6}$ is $2$.

Matthew Carter

From the unit circle, we have:

$sinleft(frac{pi}{6}
ight) = frac{1}{2}$

The cosecant is the reciprocal:

$cscleft(frac{pi}{6}
ight) = frac{1}{sinleft(frac{pi}{6}
ight)} = 2$
