Math Problem Statement
Find the reference angle for a rotation of start fraction, 5, pi, divided by, 6, end fraction65π.
Solution
To find the reference angle for a rotation of radians, we need to follow these steps:
-
Identify the quadrant: is between (90°) and (180°), so it's in the second quadrant.
-
Find the reference angle: The reference angle is the smallest angle between the terminal side of the given angle and the x-axis. For angles in the second quadrant, the reference angle is calculated by subtracting the given angle from .
So, the reference angle for is .
