Find the coordinates of a point on the unit circle at angle $ frac{pi}{3} $

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

Amelia Mitchell

The unit circle has a radius of 1. The coordinates of a point on the circle at angle $ \frac{\pi}{3} $ are given by:

$ (\cos(\frac{\pi}{3}), \sin(\frac{\pi}{3})) $

Therefore,

$ \cos(\frac{\pi}{3}) = \frac{1}{2} $

and

$ \sin(\frac{\pi}{3}) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} $

Thus, the coordinates are:

$ (\frac{1}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}) $

Answer 2

Joseph Robinson

On the unit circle, the coordinates at angle $ frac{pi}{3} $ are:

$ (cos(frac{pi}{3}), sin(frac{pi}{3})) $

We know:

$ cos(frac{pi}{3}) = frac{1}{2} $

and

$ sin(frac{pi}{3}) = frac{sqrt{3}}{2} $

So, the coordinates are:

$ (frac{1}{2}, frac{sqrt{3}}{2}) $
