for an angle of \( \pi/3 \)... the adjacent side is always 1/2 the radius of the unit circle...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
by Pythagoran Theorem... we can solve for the opposite side... which is \( \sqrt{3}/2 \)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hypotenuse of the right triangle is the radius 1 unit of the circle....
OpenStudy (anonymous):
since sine of an angle is opposite divided by hypotenuse... what do you think is the \( \sin (\pi/3)~? \)
