Answer#2
a) In the picture below, the
triangle has angle ( ) .
So it is equilateral and
the altitude (vertical line) splits the base in half .
So
b) Since ,
we reach the point by going past for one full revolution – which brings us back
to the same point.
So,
c) Since the triangle in the picture has angles and since the hypotenuse is 1 each of
the other two sides is of length .
So and
d) Since ,
1 radian is just a bit less than (actually about ).
So cos(1) is just a bit more than .5 (as can be seen
from the left picture below).
e) Note that one revolution is about 6 radians, so 30
radians corresponds to about 5 revolutions. But 5 full revolutions is actually radians, and ,
so by going all the way to we will have gone too far. Since, .
So is found by going back (clockwise) a distance
of about 1.4 units ; and since 1.4 is a bit less than ,
is just a bit to the right of . So (see right picture above).
