Find a positive angle less than 2π that is coterminal with:
465°, 27π/4
Solution:
Two angles are coterminal when the angels themselves are different, but their sides and vertices are identical.
There is an infinite number of coterminal angles of a given angle. Additionally, there the values of the coterminal angles may be negative or positive
1. Given angle = 465°
465° = 31/12 π ≈ 2.583 π
Coterminal angle in [0, 360°) range:
105°, located in the second quadrant.
Positive coterminal angles: 105°, 465°, 825°, 1185°, 1545°...
Negative coterminal angles: -255°, -615°, -975°, -1335°...
2. Given angle = 27π/4
27/4 π = 1215°
Coterminal angle in [0, 2π) range: 3/4 π, located in the second quadrant.
Positive coterminal angles:
11π/4, 19π/4 , 27π/4, 35π/4
Negative coterminal angles:
-5π/4, -13π/4, -21π/4, -29π/4
So, less than 2π is only 3/4 π
Find a positive angle less than 2π that is coterminal with:
465∘, 27π/4
Summary:
A positive angle less than 2π that is coterminal with: 465° is 105° and 27π/4 is 3/4π.
