Could anyone please tell me what angle I need to find when the question asks to find an angle with respect to x axis. (or y axis)
Thank you.
Thank you.
The angle with respect to the x-axis is the measure of the angle formed by a line or shape with the positive direction of the x-axis. It is measured in a counterclockwise direction from the positive x-axis.
The angle with respect to the x-axis and the angle with respect to the y-axis are complementary angles. This means that they add up to 90 degrees.
In trigonometry, angle with respect to the x-axis is used to determine the values of sine, cosine, and tangent functions. It also helps in finding the length of a side or the measure of an angle in a right triangle.
Angle with respect to the x-axis is important in geometry because it helps in defining the orientation of lines and shapes. It also plays a crucial role in determining the properties and relationships of geometric figures.
Yes, angle with respect to the x-axis can be negative. A negative angle indicates a clockwise rotation from the positive x-axis. It is commonly used in coordinate geometry to locate points in quadrants II, III, and IV.
