Q. Find the measure of a negative angle coterminal with 180∘. ____∘
Understand coterminal angles: Understand what a coterminal angle is.Coterminal angles are angles that share the same initial and terminal sides but may have different rotations. They are separated by an integer multiple of 360∘ (or 2π radians) for angles measured in degrees (or radians).
Calculate negative coterminal angle: Calculate a negative coterminal angle for 180°. To find a negative coterminal angle, we subtract multiples of 360° from the given angle until we get a negative result. Since we are starting with 180°, we subtract 360° once. Calculation: 180°−360°=−180°
Verify coterminality: Verify that the calculated angle is indeed coterminal with 180°. Since we subtracted 360°, which is a full rotation, the initial and terminal sides of the angles are the same. Therefore, −180° is coterminal with 180°.
