The values of trigonometric functions of angles greater than
90° (or less than 0°) can be found using corresponding acute
angles called reference angles.
Let 0 be an angle in standard position. Its reference angle
is the acute angle 0' (read theta prime) formed by the terminal
side of 0 and the x-axis.

Using Reference Angles to Evaluate Trigonometric Functions
Evaluate tan (– 210).
0' = 30
SOLUTION
0 = – 210
The angle – 210 is coterminal with 150°.
The reference angle is 0' = 180 – 150 = 30.
The tangent function is negative in Quadrant II,
so you can write:
tan (– 210) = – tan 30 = –

A child is spinning a rock at the end of a 2-foot rope at
the rate of 180 revolutions per minute (rpm). Find the
linear speed of the rock when it is released.
The rock is moving around a circle of radius r = 2 feet.
The angular speed of the rock in radians is:
The linear speed of the rock is:
The linear speed of the rock when it is released is 2262 ft/min
 25.7 mi/hr.
Linear Speed on Earth Earth rotates on an axis through its
poles. The distance from the axis to a location on Earth 40°
north latitude is about 3033.5 miles. Therefore, a location on
Earth at 40° north latitude is spinning on a circle of radius
3033.5 miles. Compute the linear speed on the surface of Earth

What is the measure of this angle?
You could measure in the positive
 = - 360° + 45°
direction and go around another rotation
which would be another 360°
 = - 315°
 = 45°
You could measure in the positive
direction
 = 360° + 45° = 405°
You could measure in the negative
direction
There are many ways to express the given angle.
Whichever way you express it, it is still a Quadrant I
angle since the terminal side is in Quadrant I.
If the angle is not exactly to the next degree it can be
expressed as a decimal (most common in math) or in
degrees, minutes and seconds (common in surveying
and some navigation).
1 degree = 60 minutes
1 minute = 60 seconds
 = 25°48'30"
degrees
seconds
minutes
To convert to decimal form use conversion fractions.
These are fractions where the numerator = denominator
but two different units. Put unit on top you want to
convert to and put unit on bottom you want to get rid of.
Let's convert the
seconds to
minutes
30"  1'
60"
= 0.5'
1 degree = 60 minutes
1 minute = 60 seconds
 = 25°48'30" = 25°48.5' = 25.808°
Now let's use another conversion fraction to get rid of
minutes.
