E-Math 9 - Reference Angle

This document discusses reference angles. It begins with an introduction explaining that a reference angle is the smallest positive angle between the terminal side of an angle and the x-axis. It then provides examples of how to identify the reference angle of angles in any quadrant by determining the coterminal angle if needed and using formulas based on which quadrant the angle is in. The document concludes with an interactive quiz activity for students to practice finding reference angles.

Review
If two angles in standard position
have the same terminal side, they
are called coterminal angles.

Finding the Coterminal Angle


Degrees - add and subtract by
multiple of 360 degrees.
Radian - add and subtract by
multiple of 2π.

the reference angle.
EXAMPLE 1:
Find the reference angle of -110°
Step 1: -110° + 360° = 250°

Step 2: 250° lies in quadrant III so


the formula is Aᵣ = 𝚹 - 180°
Step 3: Aᵣ = 𝚹 - 180°
Aᵣ = 250° - 180
Aᵣ = 70°
EXAMPLE 2:
Find the reference angle of -2𝜋/3
Step 1: -2𝜋/3 + 2𝜋 = 4𝜋/3 or 240°

Step 2: 4𝜋/3 or 240° lies in quadrant


III so the formula is Aᵣ = 𝚹 - 𝜋
Step 3: Aᵣ = 𝚹 - 𝜋 Aᵣ = 𝚹 - 180°
Aᵣ = 4𝜋/3 - 𝜋 Aᵣ = 240° - 180
Aᵣ = 𝜋/3 Aᵣ = 60°
EXAMPLE 3:
Find the reference angle of 750°
Step 1: 750° - 360(2) = 30°

Step 2: 30° lies in quadrant I so the


formula is Aᵣ = 𝚹
Step 3: Aᵣ = 𝚹
Aᵣ = 30°
EXAMPLE 4:
Find the reference angle of -578°
Step 1: -578° + 360(2) = 142°

Step 2: 142° lies in quadrant II so


the formula is Aᵣ = 180° - 𝚹
Step 3: Aᵣ = 180° - 𝚹
Aᵣ = 180° - 142°
Aᵣ = 38°
EXAMPLE 5:
Find the reference angle of 1390°
Step 1: 1390° - 360(3) = 310°

Step 2: 310° lies in quadrant IV so


the formula is Aᵣ = 360° - 𝚹
Step 3: Aᵣ = 360° - 𝚹
Aᵣ = 360° - 310°
Aᵣ = 50°
