What is the y-coordinate of the point on the unit circle at an angle of $frac{pi}{3}$?

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

Sophia Williams

To find the y-coordinate of the point on the unit circle at an angle of $\frac{\pi}{3}$, we use the sine function.

The sine of $\frac{\pi}{3}$ is $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$.

Therefore, the y-coordinate is $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$.

Answer 2

Alex Thompson

Abigail Nelson

The unit circle has a radius of 1. For an angle of $frac{pi}{3}$, the y-coordinate corresponds to the sine of $frac{pi}{3}$.

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

Thus, the y-coordinate is $frac{sqrt{3}}{2}$.

Answer 3

Amelia Mitchell

Thomas Walker

The y-coordinate is found using the sine function of the given angle.

The y-coordinate of the point on the unit circle at $frac{pi}{3}$ is $sinleft(frac{pi}{3}
ight) = frac{sqrt{3}}{2}$.
