Reference Angles
Reference angles make it easier to find exact values of trig functions in the unit circle
Measure an angle’s distance from the x-axis
Reference Angles, cont. Always
Coterminal Acute (less than ) Have one side on the x-axis

Solving for Reference Angles Step 1: Calculate the coterminal angle if
necessary (Remember, coterminal angles are positive and less than 2π.)
Step 2: Sketch either the given angle (if less than 2π) or the coterminal angle (if greater than 2π)
Step 3: Determine the angle’s distance from the x-axis (It is almost always pi/denominator!!!)
This is the reference angle!!!!

Solving for Exact Trig Values Step 1: Solve for the coterminal angle between
0 and 2π if necessary Step 2: Solve for the reference angle (Note the
quadrant) Step 3: Identify the correct coordinates of the
angle (Make sure the signs of the coordinates match the quadrant!)
Step 4: Solve for the correct trig ratio (Rationalize the denominator if necessary)
