Math Problem Statement
Find the reference angle of 200°
Solution
To find the reference angle of , follow these steps:
-
Determine which quadrant the angle is in:
- Angles between and lie in the third quadrant.
- Since is between and , it is in the third quadrant.
-
Calculate the reference angle: The reference angle in the third quadrant is found by subtracting the given angle from . This formula is: So:
Thus, the reference angle for is .
