To find the sine and cosine values for $ \theta = 30° $ on the unit circle, we need to locate the point on the unit circle corresponding to $ \theta = 30° $.

1. Convert degrees to radians, $ \theta = 30° = \frac{π}{6} $ radians.

2. From the unit circle, the coordinates for $ \theta = \frac{π}{6} $ are $ ( \cos(30°), \sin(30°) ) $.

3. Hence, $ \cos(30°) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} $ and $ \sin(30°) = \frac{1}{2} $.

So, the cosine value is $ \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} $ and the sine value is $ \frac{1}{2} $.

To determine the sine and cosine for $ heta = 30° $:

1. Convert degrees to radians: $ 30° = frac{π}{6} $ radians.

2. The unit circle gives us the coordinates $ ( cos(frac{π}{6}), sin(frac{π}{6}) ) $.

3. From the unit circle, $ cos(30°) = frac{sqrt{3}}{2} $ and $ sin(30°) = frac{1}{2} $.

Therefore, $ cos(30°) = frac{sqrt{3}}{2} $ and $ sin(30°) = frac{1}{2} $.

For $ heta = 30° $:

1. Convert to radians: $ heta = 30° = frac{π}{6} $.

2. Coordinates: $ cos(30°) = frac{sqrt{3}}{2} $, $ sin(30°) = frac{1}{2} $.

So, $ cos(30°) = frac{sqrt{3}}{2} $ and $ sin(30°) = frac{1}{2} $.
