Let the center of the carousel represent the origin on the coordinate plane and Zoes 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 .
