Problem

Consider the three angles α=123.75o\alpha=123.75^{\text{o}}, β=−2.4 rad\beta=-2.4\text{ rad} and γ=29π4 rad\gamma=\dfrac{29\pi}{4}\text{ rad}. (i) Express each angle in radians, simplifying to an exact multiple of π\pi wherever possible. (ii) Reduce each radian measure obtained in part (i) to its principal value lying in the interval [0,2π)[0,2\pi). (iii) Convert each principal value from part (ii) back to degrees, rounding to one decimal place where necessary. (iv) For each principal value, write the exact coordinates of the corresponding point on the unit circle, specifying cos⁡θ\cos \theta and sin⁡θ\sin \theta. (You may leave cos⁡\cos and sin⁡\sin of non-special angles in functional form.)
