I think my answer is wrong since I don't find it on the unit circle. Could I get my answer checked, please? I believe the answer should be squareroot (2) / squareroot(2) instead of 1 / squareroot(2) since its found on the unit circle.

assuming y=sin(theta) and x=cos(theta), this is fine

#

You're missing that y=0 gives you more solutions.

#

And you still need to find theta.

#

But cos(theta) = 1/sqrt(2) is a special angle.
