What are the sine and cosine values of an angle of $frac{pi}{6}$ on the unit circle?

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

The angle $\frac{\pi}{6}$ radians corresponds to 30 degrees.

On the unit circle, the coordinates of the point at this angle represent the cosine and sine values.

Therefore, for the angle $\frac{\pi}{6}$:

$\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

$\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \frac{1}{2}$

Answer 2

Alex Thompson

Maria Rodriguez

To find the sine and cosine values of $frac{pi}{6}$, we use the unit circle.

At $frac{pi}{6}$ radians (or 30 degrees), the coordinates of the point are:

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

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

Thus:

$cosleft(frac{pi}{6}
ight) = frac{sqrt{3}}{2}$

$sinleft(frac{pi}{6}
ight) = frac{1}{2}$

For the angle $frac{pi}{6}$ radians:

$cosleft(frac{pi}{6}
ight) = frac{sqrt{3}}{2}$

$sinleft(frac{pi}{6}
ight) = frac{1}{2}$
