Question

The measure of angle t is 60 degrees. What is the x-coordinate of the point where the terminal side intersects the unit circle?

Answer 1

A. 1/2

Explanation:

Answer 2

`(1)/(2)`,

Explanation:

Please find the attached image of unit circle.

We have been given that the measure of angle t is 60 degrees. We are asked to find the x-coordinate of the point where the terminal side intersects the unit circle.

We know that x-coordinate on unit circle represents cosine and y-coordinate represents sine of a given angle.

We can see from our attachment that x-coordinate of the point at angle 60 degrees is
`(1)/(2)`, therefore, x-coordinate of the angle of 60 degrees, where the terminal side intersects the unit circle is
`(1)/(2)`.
