DefinitionCoterminal Angles: Angles that have the same terminal side.

Important IdeaIn precal, angles can be larger than 360° or 2 radians.

Important IdeaTo find coterminal angles, simply add or subtract either 360° or 2 radians to the given angle or any angle that is already coterminal to the given angle.

DefinitionReference Angle: the acute angle between the terminal side of an angle and the x axis. (Note: x axis; not y axis). Reference angles are always positive.

Important IdeaHow you find the reference angle depends on which quadrant contains the given angle.

The ability to quickly and accurately find a reference angle is going to be important in future lessons.

ExampleFind the reference angle if the given angle is 20°.

In quad. 1, the given angle & the ref. angle are the same.
