Special Angles Larger Than 90º

Special Angles in Quadrant II

Be forewarned: this involves lots of flipping (numbers, not burgers).

Let's look at our 45°-45°-90°and 30°-60°-90° references triangles again. This time, let's flip them to Quadrant II:

For the 45°-45°-90° triangle, ɵ = 135° and ρ = 45°.

For this 30°-60°-90° triangle, ɵ = 120° and ρ = 60°.

For this 30°-60°-90° triangle, ɵ = 150° and ρ = 30°.

Special Angles in Quadrant III

Now, flip your triangles over into Quadrant III.

For the 45°-45°-90° triangle, ɵ = 225° and ρ = 45°.

For this 30°-60°-90° triangle, ɵ = 210° and ρ = 30°.

For this 30°-60°-90° triangle, ɵ = 240° and ρ = 60°.

Special Angles in Quadrant IV

Flip your triangles over into Quadrant IV for the grand finale.

For the 45°-45°-90° triangle, ɵ = 315° and ρ = 45°.

For this 30°-60°-90° triangle, ɵ = 300° and ρ = 60°.

For this 30°-60°-90° triangle, ɵ = 330° and ρ = 30°.
