Question 18 • Precalculus

Which expression can be used to determine the reference angle for an angle, x , measuring 150 degrees ?

Answer
A
360 degrees minus x
B
x minus 180 degrees
C
x minus 360 degrees
D
180 degrees minus x

Explanation

An angle of 150° lies in Quadrant II. The reference angle in Quadrant II is found by subtracting the angle from 180°, so use 180° − x; for x = 150°, this gives a 30° reference angle. The correct choice is “180 degrees minus x.”
