what is the reference angle of 4? not four degrees just 4.

4 radians?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i'm not sure. maybe.
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
well if you aren't sure, then idk because I'd have to see the book to see what they want
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it says Below, express θ′ in the same units (degrees or radians) as θ. The reference angle of 4 is ___________
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
I'm guessing there's a picture?

nope
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
hmm then idk what they want. If it's just 4 degrees, then the answer is 4 degrees because you're in Q1
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
4 radians, you have to multiply by 180/pi to convert to degrees
OpenStudy (anonymous):
this is the exact question if you want to take a look
OpenStudy (anonymous):
my the red answer was incorrect

how did you get that 49 answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
this is probably a completely wrong approach but i multiplied 4 by 180/pi becuase that's how you convert radians to degrees and then subtracted that answer from 180. It was just a guess.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
*because
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
that seems to work if 4 refers to 4 radians
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
why not try to plug in the formula in terms of pi

in other words, instead of type the approximation, type in the expression in terms of pi right before you got that approximation
OpenStudy (anonymous):
do you mean like 720pi - 180? it says that's wrong too :(
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
ok, do NOT convert to degrees
then find the reference angle in terms of radians
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
leave the answer in terms of pi

4 radians is in Q3 because 4 radians is approximately 229 degrees (between 180 degrees and 270 degrees)
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
|dw:1416532783438:dw|
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so if 4 radians is equal to pi/45 i would subtract that from pi?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ugh it says that that's wrong too

no you're overthinking
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
think of how to find the reference angle in degree mode (in Q3)
