Question

Identify the reference angle Ф for each given angle, Ф.
When ∅=300°, Ф=

Answer 1

Answer: 60 degrees

=====================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The given angle is ∅ = 300. This x value is between 270 and 360, so we're in quadrant IV (the southeast quadrant)

The rule to get the reference angle y for this quadrant is

Ф = 360-∅

This tells us the angle made with the positive x axis

Ф = 360-∅

Ф = 360-300

Ф = 60

A 60 degree angle forms with the positive x axis as shown in the diagram below.
