In Exercises 35–60, find the reference angle for each angle. 553°

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Understand that the reference angle is the acute angle formed between the terminal side of the given angle and the x-axis.
Since the given angle is 553°, which is greater than 360°, first find its coterminal angle by subtracting 360°: calculate \(553° - 360°\).
Determine the quadrant in which the coterminal angle lies by checking its value between 0° and 360°.
Based on the quadrant, use the appropriate formula to find the reference angle: - Quadrant I: reference angle = angle itself - Quadrant II: reference angle = \(180° - \theta\) - Quadrant III: reference angle = \(\theta - 180°\) - Quadrant IV: reference angle = \(360° - \theta\)
Apply the formula corresponding to the quadrant of the coterminal angle to find the reference angle.

Reference Angle

A reference angle is the acute angle formed between the terminal side of a given angle and the x-axis. It is always between 0° and 90°, and helps simplify trigonometric calculations by relating any angle to a corresponding acute angle.

Coterminal Angles

Coterminal angles differ by full rotations of 360°. To find a coterminal angle within a standard range (0° to 360°), add or subtract multiples of 360°. This helps in reducing large angles like 553° to an equivalent angle within one rotation.

Quadrants and Angle Position

The position of an angle in the coordinate plane (which quadrant it lies in) determines how to calculate its reference angle. Knowing the quadrant helps identify whether to subtract the angle from 180°, 360°, or use the angle directly for the reference angle.
