Math Problem Statement

Find the reference angle of 105°

Solution

To find the reference angle of 105105^\circ, we first need to understand that the reference angle is the acute angle (less than 9090^\circ) between the terminal side of the given angle and the x-axis.

Since 105105^\circ is in the second quadrant (between 9090^\circ and 180180^\circ), the reference angle is calculated as:

Reference angle=180given angle\text{Reference angle} = 180^\circ - \text{given angle}

For 105105^\circ:

Reference angle=180105=75\text{Reference angle} = 180^\circ - 105^\circ = 75^\circ

So, the reference angle of 105105^\circ is 7575^\circ.
