Find the value of $ cos(frac{pi}{3}) $ and $ sin(frac{pi}{3}) $

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

Ava Martin

To find the value of $ \cos(\frac{\pi}{3}) $, we look at the coordinates of the corresponding point on the unit circle.

The coordinate point at $ \frac{\pi}{3} $ is $ (\frac{1}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}) $.

Hence, $ \cos(\frac{\pi}{3}) = \frac{1}{2} $ and $ \sin(\frac{\pi}{3}) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} $.

Answer 2

Alex Thompson

Michael Moore

On the unit circle, the angle $ frac{pi}{3} $ corresponds to the coordinates $ (frac{1}{2}, frac{sqrt{3}}{2}) $.

Thus, $ cos(frac{pi}{3}) = frac{1}{2} $ and $ sin(frac{pi}{3}) = frac{sqrt{3}}{2} $.

Answer 3

Amelia Mitchell

Sophia Williams

The angle $ frac{pi}{3} $ on the unit circle has coordinates $ (frac{1}{2}, frac{sqrt{3}}{2}) $.

Therefore, $ cos(frac{pi}{3}) = frac{1}{2} $ and $ sin(frac{pi}{3}) = frac{sqrt{3}}{2} $.
