Find the Reference Angle 170

Problem

170^∘

Solution

1. Identify the quadrant in which the given angle θ=170^∘ lies. Since 90^∘<170^∘<180^∘ the angle is in Quadrant II.

2. Apply the formula for the reference angle θ^′ in Quadrant II, which is θ^′=180^∘−θ

3. Substitute the value of the angle into the formula to calculate the result.

180^∘−170^∘=10^∘

Final Answer

θ^′=10^∘
