Example 6 from Algebra and Trigonometry, 7.1 Angles
Show the angle with measure on a circle and find a positive coterminal angle such that
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.
Since is half of we can start at the positive horizontal axis and measure clockwise half of a angle.
Because we can find coterminal angles by adding or subtracting a full rotation of we can find a positive coterminal angle here by adding
We can then show the angle on a circle, as in Figure 19.
The book's Try It right after this example: same idea, new numbers. Only the answer is given.
Find an angle that is coterminal with an angle measuring such that
How did it go?
