Find the Reference Angle 160 degrees

Problem

160

Solution

1. Identify the quadrant in which the given angle θ=160 lies. Since 90<160<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.

θ′=180−160

4. Subtract the values to find the reference angle.

θ′=20

Final Answer

θ′=20
