Determine the value of $cos( heta)$ and $sin( heta)$ for $ heta=frac{pi}{4}$ on the unit circle

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

Daniel Carter

To determine the values of $\cos(\theta)$ and $\sin(\theta)$ for $\theta=\frac{\pi}{4}$ on the unit circle, we use the known coordinates:

At $\theta=\frac{\pi}{4}$, both cosine and sine values are equal to:

$\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

Therefore, the values are:

$\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

For $ heta=frac{pi}{4}$ on the unit circle, both $cos( heta)$ and $sin( heta)$ have the same value:

$cosleft(frac{pi}{4}
ight) = frac{sqrt{2}}{2}$

$sinleft(frac{pi}{4}
ight) = frac{sqrt{2}}{2}$

Answer 3

Charlotte Davis

On the unit circle, for $ heta=frac{pi}{4}$:

$cosleft(frac{pi}{4}
ight) = frac{sqrt{2}}{2}$

$sinleft(frac{pi}{4}
ight) = frac{sqrt{2}}{2}$
