Question

Use the unit circle to find the exact value of the trig function
Cos(45°)

Answer 1

Answer: √2/2

Step-by-step explanation: Starting from the positive x-axis (angle 0), we rotate the ray counterclockwise by 45 degrees, or π/4 radians. Since the point on the unit circle corresponding to 45 degrees lies on the line y = x, its coordinates are (cos(45), sin(45)) = (√2/2, √2/2).
