Answer

(a) Refer to the image below for the drawing... (b) $\dfrac{17}{9}\pi$ radians (c) Reference angle = $20^o$ or $\dfrac{\pi}{9}$ radians

Work Step by Step

(a) From the positive x-axis, move 340 degrees counter clockwise. (refer to the attached image above for the drawing) (b) Convert to radians by multiplying $\dfrac{\pi}{180^o}$ to obtain: $340^o \cdot \dfrac{\pi}{180^o} = \dfrac{17}{9}\pi$ radians (c) The angle is in Quadrant IV. The reference angle of an angle $\theta$ in Quadrant IV can be found using the formula $=360^o-\theta$. Thus, the reference angle of the given angle is: $360^0-340^0 = \color{blue}{20^o} \\=20^o \cdot \dfrac{\pi}{180^o}=\color{blue}{\dfrac{\pi}{9}}$ radians.
