Im not to sure if you can help as this is a Pre Calc/Trig question but my father highly recommended this site and this is the first time I've not been able to understand something in my class.
We are currently studying unit circles, and trigonometry of real numbers. The one thing I seem to be having a problem with is understanding how they figure out which quadrant a terminal angle lands in. For instance...
Angle Theta = 5(pie)/6
The reference of Angle Theta is (pie/6)
I understand that the associated point of this Angle is (square root of three/2, 1/2) but this is a generic point and has no reference to where the terminal angle lands...
so how is it known that the Angle Terminates in Quadrant II?
Thank you for your time!

Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You specified that the angle is 5pi/6 (not pie)
The point on a unit circle is (-sqrt(3)/2,1/2), that's in Quad II.
What's your question?
