Q. Find the reference angle for a rotation of 116π.Answer:
Concept of Reference Angle: Understand the concept of a reference angle. A reference angle is the acute angle formed by the terminal side of an angle and the x-axis. It is always between 0 and 2π radians (or 0 and 90 degrees) and is positive.
Location on Unit Circle: Determine the location of the angle (6π)/(11) radians on the unit circle.Since (6π)/(11) is less than π, it lies in the second quadrant.
Calculate Reference Angle: Calculate the reference angle for (6π)/(11) radians.The reference angle in the second quadrant is π minus the given angle. So, we calculate π−(6π)/(11).
Perform Subtraction: Perform the subtraction to find the reference angle.Reference angle = π−116π=1111π−116π=115π radians.
