Question

On a unit Circle, the terminal point of 0 is (sqrt3/2, 1/2) what is 0?

Answer 1

A. pi/6 radians

Explanation:

The ratio of the lengths of the sides of a 30-60-90 triangle is

1/2 : sqrt(3/2) : 1

sin theta = opp/hyp

tan theta = 1/2 / 1

tan theta = 1/2

theta = pi/6 radians

Answer: A. pi/6 radians

Answer 2

This is a point, so it has x- and y-coordinates. Both of these coordinates are positive, therefore the point must be in the first quadrant.

The pattern for the points on a unit circle is 3 - 2 - 1 starting at 0 and up to pi/2. The pattern for the radian denominators on a unit circle is 6 - 4 - 3 starting at 0 and up to pi/2.

(sqrt(3) / 2, 1/2) = pi / 6 radians

Hope this helps!
