Determine all the angles in standard position, for \(0^\circ \le \theta < 360^\circ \), that have a reference angle of \(35^\circ\).

Calculate the angle in each quadrant individually.

Quadrant I: \(\theta _R = \theta \)

\(\begin{align}
 \theta _R &= \theta  \\
 35^\circ &= \theta  \\
 \end{align}\)


Quadrant II: \(\theta _R = 180^\circ - \theta \)

\(\begin{align}
 \theta _R &= 180^\circ - \theta  \\
 35^\circ &= 180^\circ - \theta  \\
 -145^\circ &= - \theta  \\
 145^\circ &= \theta  \\
 \end{align}\)


Quadrant III: \(\theta _R = \theta - 180^\circ \)

\(\begin{align}
 \theta _R &= \theta - 180^\circ  \\
 35^\circ &= \theta - 180^\circ  \\
 215^\circ &= \theta  \\
 \end{align}\)


Quadrant IV: \(\theta _R = 360^\circ - \theta \)

\(\begin{align}
 \theta _R &= 360^\circ - \theta  \\
 35^\circ &= 360^\circ - \theta  \\
  -325^\circ &= - \theta  \\
 325^\circ &= \theta  \\
 \end{align}\)
