Coterminal Angles

Expected Learning Outcome: (LC Codes:

STEM_PC11AG-IIb-1)
1. Illustrate angles in standard position
and coterminal angles..
 Multiple Choice question

Which of the following

angles is coterminal with
90 degrees:
a) -150 degres
b) 450 degrees
c) 330 degrees
 True or False
question

• Are all angles that share

the same terminal side
considered coterminal?
True or False
1. Find the least positive
angle θ that is coterminal
with an angle measuring
800°, where 0°≤𝜃<360°.

ϴ = 800°± 360(n)
= 800°- 360(2)

= 800°- 720
= 80°
2. Find an angle θ that is
coterminal with 19𝜋 4 ,
where 0 ≤ θ < 2π.

Solution: 𝜃−(2𝜋)𝑛

= 19𝜋/ 4−(2𝜋)(2)
=(19𝜋/ 4 )−4𝜋
= 3𝜋 /4
 Using Coterminal Angles in Real-Life Scenarios

• Coterminal angles are helpful in navigation

systems to determine the direction of rotation.
• They also have applications in engineering,
aviation, and architecture where precise angle
measurements are needed.

For example, in aviation, coterminal angles can

help determine the direction of takeoff or landing.
 Summary and Review

• Coterminal angles share the same terminal side.

• They can be positive or negative and differ by
multiples of 360 degrees or 2π radians.
• Coterminal angles are useful in various real-life
applications such as navigation systems and
aviation.
