Why is cos pi/3 is equal to 1/2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because it is!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

give me an explanation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pi/3 is equal to 60 degrees and you use the reference triangle to solve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you take the trigonometric circle (with radius one cm)and draw the angle pi/3 or 60 grades, and measure its projection on the x axis , it will be 0.5 cm
