Expert Solution
Given

A vector has a magnitude of 8 and a reference angle of 33 degrees.

Reference angle:

     The reference angle is the smallest angle made by terminal side of the given angle with the x-axis.

θ lies in first quadrant:

   original angle and reference angles are equal

θ lies in second quadrant:

θ be the given angle, reference angle of θ is 180°-θ

θ lies in third quadrant:

θ be the given angle, reference angle of θ is θ-180°

θ lies in fourth quadrant:

θ be the given angle, reference angle of θ is 360°-θ
