Find the two points on the unit circle illustrated where the -coordinate is equal to .



Now, has to be in the interval [), but that means is in the interval [). Hence the two points you found on the circle are actually 4 possibilities for the value of , namely . Divide each possibility for by 2, and you will have 4 numbers that match one of your answer choices.
