Study Notes
Finding Reference Angles
- For angles greater than 360°: Subtract 360° repeatedly until the angle is between 0° and 360°.
- For negative angles: Add 360° repeatedly until the angle is between 0° and 360°.
- For angles in radians: Subtract 2𝜋 repeatedly until the angle is between 0 and 2𝜋.
