Example Question #3 :Find The Degree Measure Of An Angle

Determine the anglein degres made in the plane by connecting a line segment from the origin to.

Assume

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Firstly, since the pointis in the 3rd quadrant, it'll be betweenand. If we taketo be the horizontal, we can form a triangle with base and leg of valuesand. Solving for the angle in the 3rd quadrant given by,

Since this angle is made by assumingto be the horizontal, the total angle measureis going to be:

Example Question #4 :Find The Degree Measure Of An Angle

Find the degree measure ofradians. Round to the nearest integer.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve for the degree measure from radians, replace theradians with 180 degrees.

The nearest degree is.

Example Question #5 :Find The Degree Measure Of An Angle

Given a triangle, the first angle is three times the value of the second angle. The third angle is. What is the value of the second largest angle in degrees?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

A triangle has three angles that will add up todegrees.

Convert the radians angle to degrees by substitutingfor every.

The third angle is 60 degrees.

Let the second angle be. The first angle three times the value of the second angle is. Set up an equation that sums the three angles to.

Solve for.

Substitutefor the first angle and second angle.

The second angle is:

The first angle is:

The three angles are:

The second highest angle is:

Example Question #1 :Angles In The Coordinate Plane

Find the coterminal angle of 15 degrees.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The coterminal angles can be positive or negative. To find the coterminal angles, simply add or subtract 360 degrees as many times as needed from the reference angle.

所有这些角度都是共终端的角度。
