OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

What is the reference angle for \(\frac{3\pi}{4}\)?

OpenStudy (katecc379):

doesn't give one

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

It does have one.

OpenStudy (katecc379):

3pi over 4 radians?

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Do you know what a reference angle is?

OpenStudy (katecc379):

no

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

A reference angle is the Quadrant I angle that corresponds to the angle you are given. If you have an angle in Quadrant II, subtract it from 180°. If your angle is in Quadrant III, subtract 180° from that. If your angle is in Quadrant IV, subtract it from 360°. Example: if you get 150° then you would subtract it: 180°-150° = 30° which is \(\frac{\pi}{6}\) in radians.

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Maybe putting everything in degrees will make it easier. What is \(\frac{3\pi}{4}\) in degrees?

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

\[\frac{3\pi}{4}\times\frac{180}{\pi}\rightarrow\frac{3\cancel{\pi}}{4}\times\frac{180}{\cancel{\pi}}\rightarrow\frac{3\times180}{4}=\]

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

What's the degree form?

OpenStudy (katecc379):

135? @kittiwitti1

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

\(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @katecc379 135? @kittiwitti1 \(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Yeah. Now which quadrant is that in?
