Find the sine and cosine values for the angle $30^{circ}$ on the unit circle

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

Joseph Robinson

To find the sine and cosine values for the angle $30^{\circ}$ on the unit circle, we use the known values of sine and cosine for common angles. The coordinates of the point on the unit circle at $30^{\circ}$ are $(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, \frac{1}{2})$.

Therefore,

$ \sin(30^{\circ}) = \frac{1}{2} $

$ \cos(30^{\circ}) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} $

Answer 2

Alex Thompson

James Taylor

The angle $30^{circ}$ is a standard angle on the unit circle. The coordinates of the point corresponding to $30^{circ}$ are $(frac{sqrt{3}}{2}, frac{1}{2})$.

Thus, the sine value is the y-coordinate and the cosine value is the x-coordinate:

$ sin(30^{circ}) = frac{1}{2} $

$ cos(30^{circ}) = frac{sqrt{3}}{2} $

Isabella Walker

On the unit circle, the coordinates for $30^{circ}$ are $(frac{sqrt{3}}{2}, frac{1}{2})$. Therefore,

$ sin(30^{circ}) = frac{1}{2} $

$ cos(30^{circ}) = frac{sqrt{3}}{2} $
