QuestionFind the reference angle for 192 degrees.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. A reference angle is the smallest angle that the terminal side of a given angle makes with the x-axis.
2. Reference angles are always positive and less than or equal to 90 90^\circ .

STEP 2

1. Determine the quadrant in which the angle lies.
2. Calculate the reference angle.

STEP 3

First, determine the quadrant for the angle 192 192^\circ . Angles between 180 180^\circ and 270 270^\circ lie in the third quadrant.

STEP 4

In the third quadrant, the reference angle is found by subtracting 180 180^\circ from the given angle. This is because the reference angle is the angle between the terminal side and the negative x-axis.

STEP 5

Calculate the reference angle:
192180=12 192^\circ - 180^\circ = 12^\circ
The reference angle for 192 192^\circ is:
12 \boxed{12^\circ}
