Answer

$(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{\sqrt 3}{2})$

Work Step by Step

1. The terminal point determined by $\frac{\pi}{6}$ is $(\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}, \frac{1}{2})$ 2. Base on the symmetry shown in the figure of the problem, the terminal point of $\frac{\pi}{3}$ is a mirror point of $\frac{\pi}{6}$ around $y=x$ 3. Use the same concept of inverse function, we can obtain the coordinates of $t=\frac{\pi}{3}$ by switching $x,y$ from those of the $t=\frac{\pi}{6}$ which gives the terminal point determined by $\frac{\pi}{3}$ as $(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{\sqrt 3}{2})$
