Unit Circle Right Triangle
The unit circle consists of four right triangles. since we know our radius is equal to one, this is like our hypotnuse of a right triangle. Since our hypotnuse is equal to 1, and our hypotnuse is also equal to 2n, when we set 2n eqaul to one we find out that n is equal to 1/2. When we set it equal to n radical 3 on the x axis, and multiply it by 1/2 we find out our x is equal to radical 3 over 2. This is like a point on a unit circle being (radical 3 over 2, 1/2 ).
