ANSWER


a. \: \: \: ( 1,0)

b. \: \: \: (0,1)

EXPLANATION

a. We want to find the coordinates on the unit circle that corresponds to an angle of 0°

In general, the points on the unit circle are given by,


( \cos( \theta) ,\sin( \theta))

So we substitute,


\theta = 0 \degree
to obtain,


( \cos( 0\degree) ,\sin( 0\degree))


( 1,0)

b. For the coordinates of the point on the unit circle that corresponds to an angle of 90º,

We substitute

\theta = 90 \degree
to obtain,


( \cos( 90\degree) ,\sin( 90\degree))

This simplifies to,


( 0 ,1)
