Let the center of the carousel represent the origin on the coordinate plane and Zoe
s position after the
rotation have the coordinates
.
The definitions of sine and cosine functions are used to find the values of
and
.
The value of
is
.
The seat rotates
, so the reference angle is
.
Because the final position of the seat corresponds to Quadrant III, the sine and cosine of
are negative.
Find the
-coordinate by using cosine function.

Find the
-coordinate by using sine function.

Therefore, the position of joe seat relative to the center of the carousel is
.
Tthe position of joe seat relative to the center of the carousel is
.
