What is Half of 2pi/3

2 Answers

Is that cos (2pi/3) or cos^2 (pi/3) ????
1/2 of 2 =1
cos (2pi/3) = - 1/2
cos (pi/3) = 1/2
cos^2 (pi/3) = 1/4

take your pick!

pi/3 radians = 60 degrees, and cos is looking for the side adjacent to the 60 degree angle
in a 30-60-90 triangle, the sides are in the ratio 1-sqrt(3)-2
so cos 60 = 1/2

2(pi/3) = 120 degrees-- the same triangle, except now, x is negative ==> cos 2pi/3 = -1/2

Answer: The half of
(2\pi)/(3) is
(\pi)/(3).

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the half of
(2\pi)/(3).

Let us consider that


x=(2\pi)/(3).

Then, the half of x is given by


(1)/(2)x=(1)/(2)*(2\pi)/(3)=(\pi)/(3).

Thus, the half of
(2\pi)/(3) is
(\pi)/(3).
