Math Problem Statement

Give direct answer without steps

Points A and B lie on the unit circle with center O, as shown. The measure of angle AOB is π/6 radians. What is the y-coordinate of point B?

Solution

The correct y-coordinate of point BB is 32\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, which corresponds to option C.
