Question

Draw the angle given in degrees on the unit circle where 0° corresponds to the positive portion of the horizontal axis: -2012°.

Answer 1

Answer:

Fourth option is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know for an angle given in degrees on the unit circle we consider X axis as base line then angle is measured in clockwise or anticlockwise direction. Negative measurement of an angle is measured clockwise and positive in anticlockwise direction.

In this question measurement is -2012° that is negative.Now we will measure it in clockwise direction of the x axis.

2012° angle = 5×360°+212°

5×360° Means after five clockwise rotations we are back at x axis.

So we have to draw 212° from the x axis clockwise that will lie in second quadrant ( as shown in the picture attached).

Fourth option is the correct answer.
