2. Draw the angle in standard position, then colour and label its reference angle:
θ = 160 ° θ= 200°
θ = 300 ° θ= 60 °
3. Draw the principal angle, then draw and label two coterminal angles :
θ = 40° θ = -20°
PC 11 lesson 4 Trig ratios of angles on the coordinate plane 0°≤ ϴ ≤ 360°
We know how to solve triangle problems with right triangles (SOH CAH TOA) but not
all real life problems are right triangles…… So we use a model to help us organize the
trig concepts to extend to ALL size angles. This is why we move to a coordinate plane.
NON acute angles have the same trig ratio as their REFERENCE ANGLE, with some
sign adjustments. So we identify the reference angle, then use it to solve the problem.
1. The terminal arm of an angle in standard position contains the point (3,4).
a) draw angle ϴ.
b) determine the distance from the origin to the point.
c) determine the 3 primary trig ratios for < ϴ
** determine the measure of the reference angle (SOHCAHTOA)
** can you use this to determine what < ϴ is?
2. The terminal arm of an angle in standard position contains the point (-3,4).
a) draw angle ϴ.
b) determine the distance from the origin to the point.
c) determine the 3 primary trig ratios for < ϴ
** determine the measure of the reference angle (SOHCAHTOA)
** can you use this to determine what < ϴ is?
3. The terminal arm of an angle in standard position contains the point (-3,-4).
a) draw angle ϴ.
b) determine the distance from the origin to the point.
c) determine the 3 primary trig ratios for < ϴ
** determine the measure of the reference angle (SOHCAHTOA)
** can you use this to determine what < ϴ is?
4 The terminal arm of an angle in standard position contains the point (3,-4).

Practice do these ! Draw and show all the work on graph paper.
The remaining questions only ask you to give the RATIOS. Feel free to try to determine the
reference angle and the angle in standard position , if you feel comfortable with that.
