How do you evaluate #cos (pi/6)#? Trigonometry Right Triangles Trigonometric Functions of Any Angle 1 Answer Drew May 23, 2018 #(sqrt3)/2# Explanation: Since #pi/6# is 30 degrees on the unit circle, draw a triangle on the where 30 degrees is the reference angle. Since cosine is #a/h#, the respective sides are #sqrt3# being the adjacent side and 2 being the hypotenuse. Answer link Related questions How do you find the trigonometric functions of any angle?
