What are the positive and negative measures of the closest Coterminal angles to − 150 ∘?
So a positive angle coterminal with −150∘ would be −150∘+360∘=210∘.
How do you convert a negative angle to a positive angle?
Given a negative angle, we add 360 to get its corresponding positive angle. When an angle is -360°, it implies that the object made more than one cycle in clockwise direction.
Which angle has a positive measure?
If the rotation is counterclockwise, the angle has a positive measure. If the rotation is clockwise, the angle has a negative measure. An angle in standard position is said to lie in the quadrant where the terminal side resides. One way to measure an angle is in degrees.
How do you find two positive Coterminal angles?
Coterminal Angles are angles who share the same initial side and terminal sides. Finding coterminal angles is as simple as adding or subtracting 360° or 2π to each angle, depending on whether the given angle is in degrees or radians.
What is a positive angle?
Definition. The amount of rotation of a ray from its initial position to final position in anticlockwise direction is called positive angle. Positive angles are written by writing with or without plus sign before the angle.
What is positive angle and negative angle?
The angle measure is the amount of rotation between the two rays forming the angle. Rotation is measured from the initial side to the terminal side of the angle. Positive angles (Figure a) result from counterclockwise rotation, and negative angles (Figure b) result from clockwise rotation.
How do you find the smallest positive angle?
Answer and Explanation:
- −61∘ is a negative angle, so to get the smallest positive coterminal angle, we must add multiples of 360∘ until we get a positive coterminal angle:
- We only needed to add 360∘ once to get a positive angle, so 299∘ is the smallest positive angle that is coterminal of 61∘.
