Answer

a) The value of $\theta '$ is $15{}^\circ $. b) The value of $\theta '$ is $\frac{\pi }{6}$.

Work Step by Step

(a) The angle formed by a full rotation of the terminal side in degrees is $360{}^\circ $. The angle $\theta '$ is the difference between $360{}^\circ $ and $\theta $. $\theta '=360{}^\circ -\theta $ Put $345{}^\circ $ for $\theta $. $\begin{align} & \theta '=360{}^\circ -345{}^\circ \\ & =15{}^\circ \end{align}$ (b) And the angle formed by a half rotation of the terminal side in radians is $\pi $. The angle $\theta '$ is the difference between $\pi $ and $\theta $. $\theta '=\pi -\theta $ Put $\frac{5\pi }{6}$ for $\theta $. $\begin{align} & \theta '=\pi -\frac{5\pi }{6} \\ & =\frac{6\pi -5\pi }{6} \\ & =\frac{\pi }{6} \end{align}$
