Answer:

A. √3/2

Explanation:

You want to know sin(θ) if the terminal point of angle θ on the unit circle is (1/2, √3/2).

Unit circle

The coordinates on the unit circle of the terminal point of angle θ are ...

(x, y) = (cos(θ), sin(θ))

Comparing this to the given terminal point, we find ...

cos(θ) = 1/2

sin(θ) = √3/2

The sine of angle θ is √3/2, choice A.
