Homework question...
Find the reference angle fore each angle with the given measure.
a. -20degrees b. 160degrees c. -545degrees
i'm not sure how to find the answer? can anyone explain? thanks!!
Reference Angle?
If the angle is between 0 and -90, then you can just make it positive.
a) 20 degrees
If the angle is between 90 and 180, then you subtract from 180.
b) 180-60 = 20 degrees
c) If the number is less than -360, then you need to add 360 until you get it above 0.
-545 + 360 = -185.
-185 + 360 = 175.
Since 175 is between 90 and 180, we subtract it from 180.
180-175 = 5
