Answer

$(\frac{1}{2},\frac{\pi}{6})$ and $(\frac{1}{2},\frac{5\pi}{6})$

Work Step by Step

$r=\sin \theta$ and $r=1-\sin\theta$ (Add both equations) $2r=1$ $r=\frac{1}{2}$ Find $\theta\in [0,2\pi]$ such that $r=\frac{1}{2}$: $r=\sin \theta$ $\frac{1}{2}=\sin\theta$ $\theta=\frac{\pi}{6}\vee \theta=\frac{5\pi}{6}$ Thus, the intersection points are $(\frac{1}{2},\frac{\pi}{6})$ and $(\frac{1}{2},\frac{5\pi}{6})$.
