Question
Hi I have a math question i am not sure how to do:
Which of the following angles are coterminal with 80?
800, -100, -280, 280

Can you please explain coterminal to me? thank you!


Answer
Put the angles on a graph and you will see that 800 =
2(360) +80.

80 degrees and 800 degrees are the same angle which you could see if you knew how to draw angles on a graph.  I've answered over 1000 questions on this web site and have a rating about 9.5 so your feedback means little.
