Find the coordinates of a point on the unit circle that corresponds to an angle of $ frac{pi}{3} $ radians

Answer 1

To find the coordinates of a point on the unit circle corresponding to an angle of $ \frac{\pi}{3} $ radians:

We can use the unit circle definitions for sine and cosine.

$ x = \cos \left( \frac{\pi}{3} \right) $

$ y = \sin \left( \frac{\pi}{3} \right) $

Since $ \cos \left( \frac{\pi}{3} \right) = \frac{1}{2} $ and $ \sin \left( \frac{\pi}{3} \right) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} $, the coordinates are:

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

To find the coordinates at an angle of $ frac{pi}{3} $ radians on the unit circle:

Utilize the cosine and sine values:

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

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

So, the coordinates are:

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

At an angle of $ frac{pi}{3} $ radians:

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

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

The coordinates are:

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