Since 120 degrees is in quadrant 2, the reference angle, represented by , can be found by solving the equation
Therefore, 60 degrees is the reference angle. We increase this by to change it to radians.
The 180 can be made to drop the 60 and become a 3 in the denominator before we multiply.
This leaves us with radians, which is the radian value of our reference angle.
Practice exercises:
1)Calculate the reference angle of 40 degrees in both degrees and radians.
2)Find the reference angle for 335 degrees in both degrees and radians.
