Find the Reference Angle 20 degrees

Problem

20^∘

Solution

1. Identify the quadrant in which the given angle θ=20^∘ lies.

2. Determine that since 0^∘<20^∘<90^∘ the angle is located in the first quadrant (Quadrant I).

3. Apply the rule for reference angles in the first quadrant, which states that the reference angle θ^′ is equal to the angle itself: θ^′=θ

4. Calculate the reference angle using the formula θ^′=20^∘

Final Answer

θ^′=20^∘
