Example Question #3 : Find The Degree Measure Of An Angle
Determine the angle in degres made in the plane by connecting a line segment from the origin to
.
Assume
Firstly, since the point is in the 3rd quadrant, it'll be between
and
. If we take
to be the horizontal, we can form a triangle with base and leg of values
and
. Solving for the angle in the 3rd quadrant given by
,
Since this angle is made by assuming to be the horizontal, the total angle measure
is going to be:
Example Question #4 : Find The Degree Measure Of An Angle
Find the degree measure of radians. Round to the nearest integer.
In order to solve for the degree measure from radians, replace the radians with 180 degrees.
The nearest degree is .
Example Question #5 : Find The Degree Measure Of An Angle
Given a triangle, the first angle is three times the value of the second angle. The third angle is . What is the value of the second largest angle in degrees?
A triangle has three angles that will add up to degrees.
Convert the radians angle to degrees by substituting for every
.
The third angle is 60 degrees.
Let the second angle be . The first angle three times the value of the second angle is
. Set up an equation that sums the three angles to
.
Solve for .
Substitute for the first angle and second angle.
The second angle is:
The first angle is:
The three angles are:
The second highest angle is:
