The x- and y-coordinate are given by cos θ and sin θ, respectively.
P(0.643,0.766)
Q(- 0.342,0.939)
Notice that in a unit circle the x-coordinate is given by cos θ, and the y-coordinate by sin θ.
If we evaluate the trigonometric expressions for x and y, we can determine the coordinates in decimal form. P(cos 50^(∘),sin 50^(∘)) & ⇔ P(0.643,0.766) Q(cos 110^(∘),sin 110^(∘)) & ⇔ Q(- 0.342,0.939)
