Find a positive angle less than 2pi that is coterminal with the given angle
A. 425 degrees B. 27π/4
Solution:
The coterminal angles are the angles that have the same initial side and the same terminal sides.
We determine the coterminal angle of a given angle by adding or subtracting 360° or 2π to it.
To find the coterminal angles of an angle θ depending upon whether it is in terms of degrees or radians the formula used are:
In degrees: θ ± 360n and in radians: θ ± 2πn
A. 425°
Subtracting 2π = 360° from 425°,
→ 425° - 360° = 65°
Required angle is 65°
B. 27π/4
→ 27π/4 - 2π = 19π/4 - 2π
= 11π/4 - 2π = 3π/4
Find a positive angle less than 2pi that is coterminal with the given angle
A. 425 degrees B. 27π/4
Summary:
Positive angle less than 2pi that is coterminal with the given angle A. 425 degrees is 65° and B. 27π/4 is 3π/4
