What are coterminal angles?

Back

Coterminal angles are angles that share the same terminal side when drawn in standard position, differing by full rotations (360 degrees or 2π radians).

Front

How do you find a negative coterminal angle?

Back

To find a negative coterminal angle, subtract 360 degrees (or 2π radians) from the given angle.
