Reference Angles

A reference angle must be between oº and 90º, it is used when an angle is not found on the trig chart or unit circle.
To find the reference angle: First find what quadrant the angle is in, next determine the sign of the quadrant (positive or negative?) that the trig function is in, lastly subtract 180º until the angle is between 0º and 90º
