is
a
reference
Angle:
-‐A
reference
angle
is
the
angle
that
the
main
angle
makes
(
The
angle
is
measured
from
the
ini:al
side
to
the
terminal
side)
B.
How
to
find
the
reference
Angle
Step1:
Determine
The
Quadrants
in
which
the
angle
belongs
in
Step:2
Draw
the
angle
on

graph,
and
find
the
closet

axis.
-‐If
you
get
a
reference
angle
that
is
less
then
90
degrees,
then
it
is
its
own
angle.
(
These
angles
would
fall
in
to
Quadrant
I)
-‐In
quadrant
II
you
take
the
degrees
and
subtract
from
180
(180-‐105=75)
-‐Quadrant
III
subtract
180
from
the
degrees
-‐Lastly
if
it
falls
onto
Quadrant
Iv
the
degrees
are
subtracted
by

12. How
to
use
the
Law
Sine
First
you
have
to
have
a
triangle
with
the
required
informaVon.
Then
you
have
to
set
up
the
equaVon,
for
this
parVcular
triangle
the
equaVon
will
look
like:
sin
36°
sin
76°
a
67
Then
you
cross
mulVply:
a(sin
76°)
=
67(sin
36°)
Isolate
a
then
solve:
A=67(sin
36°)
sin

=

13. When
to
use
the

is
used
when
at

are
given
with
one
having
their
respecVve
angle,
or
2

are
given
with
