Q. Find an angle θ coterminal to 1180∘, where 0∘≤θ<360∘.Answer:
Understand coterminal angles: Understand what a coterminal angle is.Coterminal angles are angles that share the same initial and terminal sides but differ in the number of rotations. To find a coterminal angle within a specific range, we can add or subtract multiples of 360∘ (a full rotation) from the given angle.
Subtract multiples of 360°: Subtract multiples of 360° from 1180° until the result is between 0° and 360°.1180°−360°=820° (still greater than 360°, so subtract another 360°)820°−360°=460° (still greater than 360°, so subtract another 360°)1180°0 (this is between 0° and 360°, so we have found our coterminal angle)
Verify result in range: Verify that the result is within the specified range. 100∘ is indeed between 0∘ and 360∘, so it is a valid coterminal angle to 1180∘.
