Q. Find an angle θ coterminal to −942∘, where 0∘≤θ<360∘.Answer:
Add 360° Repeatedly: To find an angle coterminal to −942° that lies between 0° and 360°, we need to add or subtract multiples of 360° until we get an angle in the desired range. Since −942° is negative, we will add 360° repeatedly until we get a positive angle less than 360°.
Determine Multiples of 360°: First, let's determine how many times 360° goes into 942°. We do this by dividing 942 by 360. 942÷360≈2.6167This means that 360° goes into 942° a little over 2 times. Since we are dealing with a negative angle, we need to consider the next whole number greater than 2.6167, which is 3.
Calculate Additional Angle: Now, we multiply 360° by 3 to find out how much angle we need to add to −942° to make it positive.360°×3=1080°
Find Coterminal Angle: Next, we add 1080° to −942° to find the coterminal angle.−942°+1080°=138°
Check Angle Range: We check if 138° is within the range of 0° to 360°.Since 0° \leq 138° < 360°, 138° is indeed within the desired range.
