Given the unit circle, find the sine and cosine values for the following angles:

1.

$ radians

2. $\frac{\pi}{4}$ radians

3. $\frac{\pi}{2}$ radians

1. At

$ radians, the coordinates are $(1, 0)$, so the sine value is

$ and the cosine value is $1$.

2. At $\frac{\pi}{4}$ radians, the coordinates are $\left( \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right)$, so the sine value is $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ and the cosine value is $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$.

3. At $\frac{\pi}{2}$ radians, the coordinates are $(0, 1)$, so the sine value is $1$ and the cosine value is
