Solution

- To solve the question, we need to find the equivalent of cos 765° on the unit circle before we can locate it on the unit circle.

- The unit circle only allows for angles ranging from 0° to 360°, before the whole cycle restarts.

- Thus, if 765° is the angle we are looking for, we simply need to count how many full 360° cycles we can find in 765°

- After the first cycle, 360° have elapsed

- After the second cycle, 360° + 360° = 720° have passed.

- The angle remaining would be


765°-720\degree=45°

- Thus, cos 765° would look like this:
