Answer:

cos(π/6)= radical 3 over 2 sin(π/6) = 1/2

Explanation:

In the unit circle the coordinates of the point for the particular angle can be expressed by cos(x) for the x value and sin(x) for the y value. For π/6, the point's x value is radical 3 over 2 as expressed by cos(π/6) and the y value is 1/2 as expressed by sin(π/6)
