Example 5 from Algebra and Trigonometry, 7.1 Angles
Find the least positive angle that is coterminal with an angle measuring where
Work it out on paper first. Then open the solution one step at a time, and stop as soon as you can finish on your own.
An angle with measure is coterminal with an angle with measure but is still greater than so we subtract again to find another coterminal angle:
The angle is coterminal with To put it another way, equals plus two full rotations, as shown in Figure 18.
The book's Try It right after this example: same idea, new numbers. Only the answer is given.
