If \(\theta\) lies in the third quadrant and its reference angle is \(35^\circ\), what is \(\theta\)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(215^\circ\)

The direct answer is B, \\(215^\circ\\). A reference angle is the small positive angle between the terminal arm and the nearest x-axis. In the third quadrant, an angle lies between \\(180^\circ\\) and \\(270^\circ\\), and the reference angle is measured after \\(180^\circ\\). Therefore, \\(\theta=180^\circ+35^\circ=215^\circ\\). Option A, \\(145^\circ\\), is \\(180^\circ-35^\circ\\), which belongs to the second quadrant. Option B is correct because 215° is in the third quadrant and has reference angle 35°. Option C, \\(325^\circ\\), is \\(360^\circ-35^\circ\\), so it belongs to the fourth quadrant. Option D, \\(305^\circ\\), also lies in the fourth quadrant and does not have the required reference angle. Exam cue: for a third-quadrant angle use \\(180^\circ+\alpha\\), not subtraction.
