Find the measure of an angle between 0º and 360º coterminal with an angle of –110º in standard position

1 Answer

  • Answer:

    An angle measures how how much you have to rotate one line called initial side so it lies on the top of other line called the terminal side. Angles whose vertex is located at the origin having the initial side on the positive x-axis is said to be in standard position. On the other hand, coterminal angles are angles in standard position having the same terminal side. In this way, for the angle:

    [tex]-110^{\circ} \\ \\ Its \ coterminal \ is: \\ \\ \alpha=360^{\circ}-110^{\circ}=\boxed{250^{\circ}}[/tex]
