WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
For any angle , if , ,
and .

For any angle , .

If is in quadrant IV (four), and .

For any angles and ,

WHAT COULD ALSO HELP:
Because teachers like problems with answers that are integer or rational numbers,
they often use right triangles with integer side lengths.
The three side length form what we call a Pythagorean triple,
like (3,4,5), (5,12,13), (8,15,17), or (7,24,25).
If you do not need to "show all of your work", those triangles save you time.
If you have to show all of your work, those triangles provide a good check.

For example, . For that in quadrant I, .
The angle from your problem, in quadrant II, has as its reference angle,
so .

Also, for A in quadrant IV, the reference angle is shown below.
so ,
so for A in quadrant IV, .
