Coterminal Angles Angles that land on the same spot with respect to the positive x-axis. Differences of 360° or 2𝜋 radians
Reference Angles A reference angle is the angle between any angle and the x-axis.
Example #1 State the reference angle.
Example #1 - Solution The reference angle is 180° - 150° = 30°. 30° is the measure between our terminal ray and the x-axis. 30°
Example #2 State the reference angle.
Example #2 - Solution We know the whole angle is 25𝜋 18 while half a revolution is 𝜋. Thus our reference angle is 25𝜋 18 −𝜋 Changing 𝜋 to a fraction over 18: 25𝜋 18 − 18𝜋 18 = 7𝜋 18
