START COPYING: • Reference Angle: Given angle Ө (theta), the reference angle, Ө’ (theta prime) is one whose initial side is on the x axis and shares the same terminal side. • The reference angle is never more than 90° and always positive . • In Quadrant I the angle and it’s reference have the same initial side and same terminal side. • In Quadrants II & III, the initial side is on the NEGATIVE X axis and the terminal sides are the same. • In Quadrant IV, the initial side is on the POSITIVE X axis and the terminal sides are the same.
In reality, it represents the space between the terminal side and the x axis. (almost absolute value definition!) II I III IV Let’s try: 57° 0° 180° 360° 45° 24° We can draw them, but how can we find their reference angle measure? 34°
II I III IV Find the reference angle: 39° 0° 180° 360° 39°
II I III IV Find the reference angle: 0° 180° 360°
II I III IV Find the reference angle: 48° Coterminal Angle? 588° - 360° = 228° 0° 180° 360° 228°
II I III IV Find the reference angle: 79° There are two ways to do this: Count degrees backwards (-90°, -180°, -270°, etc) 0° 180° 360° Or, use Coterminal Angles: -259° + 360° = 101° Joke break: What lies on the bottom of the ocean and twitches? A nervous wreck
II I III IV Find the reference angle: First, write the quadrangle angles in π radians. π 0 2π Then change to a common denominator.
II I III IV Find the reference angle: 0 π 2π
II I III IV Find the reference angle: 0 π 2π
