What is the value of the y-coordinate for point P?120 degres

1 answer

Since angle P is 120 degrees, and the y-coordinate is calculated by using the sine function, the y-coordinate can be found by using the equation:

y = r * sin(θ)

where r is the radius and θ is the angle (in radians).

Assuming that point P is on the unit circle, the radius would be 1 unit. So the equation becomes:

y = 1 * sin(120 degrees)

Using a calculator to calculate sin(120 degrees) results in approximately 0.866.

Therefore, the y-coordinate for point P is approximately 0.866.
