Find the sine and cosine of $ frac{pi}{4} $ using the unit circle.

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

Matthew Carter

To find the sine and cosine of $ \frac{\pi}{4} $ using the unit circle:

On the unit circle, the angle $ \frac{\pi}{4} $ corresponds to the coordinates $ \left( \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right) $.

Therefore,

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

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

Answer 2

Olivia Lee

Using the unit circle, the angle $ frac{pi}{4} $ has coordinates $ left( frac{sqrt{2}}{2}, frac{sqrt{2}}{2}
ight) $
.

Therefore:

$ sinleft( frac{pi}{4}
ight) = frac{sqrt{2}}{2} $

$ cosleft( frac{pi}{4}
ight) = frac{sqrt{2}}{2} $

Answer 3

For the angle $ frac{pi}{4} $ on the unit circle:

$ sinleft( frac{pi}{4}
ight) = frac{sqrt{2}}{2} $

$ cosleft( frac{pi}{4}
ight) = frac{sqrt{2}}{2} $
