Using a graph of the unitary circle,

Every point on the unitary circle can be expressed as (cosθ,sinθ).

In our case, since θ=pi/3,


\begin{gathered} \theta=(\pi)/(3) \\ \Rightarrow(x,y)=(\cos((\pi)/(3)),\sin((\pi)/(3))) \end{gathered}

Then,


\Rightarrow(x,y)=((1)/(2),(√(3))/(2))

Thus, the answer is (1/2,sqrt(3)/2)
