When you subtract theta from 180 ( if theta is between 90 degrees and 180 degrees) you will get the reference angle of theta; the results of sine theta and sine of its reference angle will be the same and only the sign will be different depends on which quadrant the angle is located.

Ex. 150 degrees' reference angle will be 30 degrees (180-150)

sin150=1/2 (2nd quadrant); sin30=1/2 (1st quadrant)

1st quadrant: all trig functions are positive

2nd: sine and csc are positive

3rd: tangent and cot are positive

4th: cosine and secant are positive

An angle is 12 degrees more than its supplement Find the angle?

96 degrees Let theta represent the measure of the angle we are trying to find and theta' represent the measure of its supplement. From the problem, we know: theta=theta'+12 Because supplementary angles sum to 180 degrees, we also know: theta+theta'=180 Substituting the value from theta in the first equation into the second, we get: (theta'+12)+theta'=180 2*theta'+12=180 2*theta'=180-12=168 theta'=168/2=84 Substituting this value for theta' back into the first equation, we get: theta+84=180 theta=180-84=96

Can we take theta in terms of degree?

Pi radians is 180 degrees. So if you have theta in radians, multiply by 180/Pi


How to determine theta in degrees if theta equals 0.33PI?

degrees = pi/180 180 degrees = pi .33pi = .33 times 180 = 60 degrees


What is the length of a minor arc that has a central angle of 120 and a diameter of 10?

r*theta = where theta is the angle measured in radians.= 5*120*pi/180 = 10.472 units (approx).r*theta = where theta is the angle measured in radians.= 5*120*pi/180 = 10.472 units (approx).r*theta = where theta is the angle measured in radians.= 5*120*pi/180 = 10.472 units (approx).r*theta = where theta is the angle measured in radians.= 5*120*pi/180 = 10.472 units (approx).


How do you simplify bracket 1 plus tan theta bracket bracket 5 sin theta -2 bracket equals 0?

(in a past paper it asks u to solve this for -180</=theta<180, so I have solved it) Tan theta =-1, so theta = -45. Use CAST diagram to find other values of theta for -180</=theta<180: Theta (in terms of tan) = -ve, other value is in either S or C. But because of boundaries value can only be in S. So other value= 180-45=135. Do the same for sin. Sin theta=2/5 so theta=23.6 CAST diagram, other value in S because theta (in terms of sin)=+ve. So other value=180-23.6=156.4.
