Trying to find a specific Unit Circle proof my teacher used (Chord Length / Distance Formula)

Hey everyone, I’m trying to understand how my teacher proved the coordinates for W(\pi/6) on the unit circle. I think I made a mistake in my notebook, and whenever I try to find this exact proof online, nothing comes up. Most guides just use special right triangles (30^\circ-60^\circ-90^\circ), but my teacher used the distance formula and chord lengths. Does anyone know what this specific method is called or where I can find a video on it?

Waterloo Math Contest Studying Help

Hello everyone,

I want to do well in Waterloo math contests to improve my chances of getting into the University of Waterloo. I would like to focus mainly on the Grade 11 and Grade 12 contests, especially the Euclid and CSMC.

Right now, I mostly need resources, materials, and guides to help me prepare. I do not really know which topics I should study, and I would like to cover all my bases.

Whenever I ask the stronger math contest students at my school, they usually recommend getting a tutor, but I unfortunately do not have the funds for that.

If there are any other contests I should keep an eye on, please let me know.
