When [tex]\theta=480^{\circ}[/tex], [tex]\phi=[/tex] [tex]\square[/tex] degrees.

When [tex]\theta=-210^{\circ}[/tex], [tex]\phi=[/tex] [tex]\square[/tex] degrees.



Answer :

Sure! Let's find the reference angles step-by-step for each given angle:

1. For [tex]\(\theta = 300^{\circ}\)[/tex]:
- First, we need to determine where [tex]\(300^{\circ}\)[/tex] lies with respect to the standard [tex]\(0^\circ\)[/tex] to [tex]\(360^\circ\)[/tex] range. Since [tex]\(300^{\circ}\)[/tex] is already within this range, we use it directly.
- Next, we determine which quadrant [tex]\(300^{\circ}\)[/tex] is in. Since [tex]\(270^\circ < 300^\circ < 360^\circ\)[/tex], it lies in the fourth quadrant.
- The reference angle [tex]\(\phi\)[/tex] for an angle in the fourth quadrant is found by subtracting the given angle from [tex]\(360^\circ\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \phi = 360^\circ - 300^\circ = 60^\circ \][/tex]

2. For [tex]\(\theta = 225^{\circ}\)[/tex]:
- Again, [tex]\(225^{\circ}\)[/tex] is already within the [tex]\(0^\circ\)[/tex] to [tex]\(360^\circ\)[/tex] range.
- [tex]\(180^\circ < 225^\circ < 270^\circ\)[/tex] places [tex]\(225^\circ\)[/tex] in the third quadrant.
- The reference angle [tex]\(\phi\)[/tex] in the third quadrant is found by subtracting [tex]\(180^\circ\)[/tex] from the given angle:
[tex]\[ \phi = 225^\circ - 180^\circ = 45^\circ \][/tex]
However, we need to adjust it one last time since the reference angle needs to be acute and located within the [tex]\(0^\circ\)[/tex] to [tex]\(180^\circ\)[/tex] range. Therefore, we maintain the other perspective, and for the third quadrant, it's actually:
[tex]\[ \phi = 360^\circ - 225^\circ = 135^\circ \][/tex]
(Recognizing the full calculation difference helps correct and maintain general forms to acute angle calculations).

3. For [tex]\(\theta = 480^{\circ}\)[/tex]:
- Since [tex]\(480^{\circ}\)[/tex] is greater than [tex]\(360^\circ\)[/tex], we subtract [tex]\(360^\circ\)[/tex] from it to bring it back within the standard range:
[tex]\[ 480^\circ - 360^\circ = 120^\circ \][/tex]
- Now, we need to find the reference angle for [tex]\(120^\circ\)[/tex], which lies in the second quadrant ([tex]\(90^\circ < 120^\circ < 180^\circ\)[/tex]).
- The reference angle [tex]\(\phi\)[/tex] for the second quadrant is found by subtracting the angle from [tex]\(180^\circ\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \phi = 180^\circ - 120^\circ = 60^\circ \][/tex]

4. For [tex]\(\theta = -210^{\circ}\)[/tex]:
- Since [tex]\(-210^{\circ}\)[/tex] is negative, we add [tex]\(360^\circ\)[/tex] to it to find its equivalent positive angle in the standard range:
[tex]\[ -210^\circ + 360^\circ = 150^\circ \][/tex]
- Next, we find the reference angle for [tex]\(150^\circ\)[/tex], which is in the second quadrant ([tex]\(90^\circ < 150^\circ < 180^\circ\)[/tex]).
- The reference angle [tex]\(\phi\)[/tex] is found similarly by subtracting the angle from [tex]\(180^\circ\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \phi = 180^\circ - 150^\circ = 30^\circ \][/tex]
Reevaluating it from general norms confirmed [tex]\(150^\circ\)[/tex] already establishes correct range and cross to:
[tex]\[ \phi = 150^\circ \text{ proper range understanding} \][/tex]

So the reference angles [tex]\(\phi\)[/tex] for each given [tex]\(\theta\)[/tex] are:

- When [tex]\(\theta = 300^\circ\)[/tex], [tex]\(\phi = 60^\circ\)[/tex].
- When [tex]\(\theta = 225^\circ\)[/tex], [tex]\(\phi = 135^\circ\)[/tex].
- When [tex]\(\theta = 480^\circ\)[/tex], [tex]\(\phi = 120^\circ\)[/tex].
- When [tex]\(\theta = -210^\circ\)[/tex], [tex]\(\phi = 150^\circ\)[/tex].
