Q. Find an angle θ coterminal to 1011∘, where 0∘≤θ<360∘.Answer:
Understand coterminal angles: Understand the concept of coterminal angles. Coterminal angles are angles that share the same initial and terminal sides but may differ by any number of full rotations (360∘). To find a coterminal angle within a specific range, we can add or subtract multiples of 360∘ from the given angle until the result is within the desired range.
Subtract multiples: Subtract multiples of 360° from 1011° until the result is between 0° and 360°.Since 1011° is greater than 360°, we will subtract 360° repeatedly until we get a result within the specified range. We can calculate the number of full rotations by dividing 1011 by 360 and then taking the floor of that number.Number of full rotations = floor(3601011)=floor(2.8083)=2
Calculate coterminal angle: Calculate the coterminal angle.Now we subtract the number of full rotations 2×360° from the original angle 1011°:1011°−(2×360°)=1011°−720°=291°
Verify result: Verify that the result is within the specified range.We need to ensure that the coterminal angle we found, 291∘, is between 0∘ and 360∘. Since 291∘ is within this range, we have found our coterminal angle.
