Find the sine and cosine values for an angle of $45^circ$ on the unit circle.

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

Henry Green

Using the unit circle, we can determine the sine and cosine values of $45^\circ$.

$45^\circ$ (or $\frac{\pi}{4}$ radians) is a commonly known angle.

The coordinates of the point on the unit circle corresponding to $45^\circ$ are $(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})$.

Therefore, the sine value is $\sin(45^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ and the cosine value is $\cos(45^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$.

Joseph Robinson

To find the sine and cosine of $45^circ$ on the unit circle:

The angle $45^circ$ corresponds to $frac{pi}{4}$ radians.

On the unit circle, the coordinates of the angle $45^circ$ are $(frac{sqrt{2}}{2}, frac{sqrt{2}}{2})$.

Thus, $sin(45^circ) = frac{sqrt{2}}{2}$ and $cos(45^circ) = frac{sqrt{2}}{2}$.

The sine and cosine values for $45^circ$ are found using the unit circle:

$sin(45^circ) = frac{sqrt{2}}{2}$

$cos(45^circ) = frac{sqrt{2}}{2}$
