Coterminal Angles

Coterminal angles are angles that share the same terminal side but differ by a full rotation. To find a positive and negative angle coterminal with a given angle, add or subtract 360 degrees or 2π radians. For example, a 55 degree angle is coterminal with -305 degrees and 415 degrees, as those angles differ from 55 degrees by a full rotation.

Coterminal Angles

Coterminal angles are angles in standard position (angles with the initial side on the positive x-axis) that have a
common terminal side. For example 30, 330 and 390 are all coterminal.

To find a positive and a negative angle coterminal with a given angle, you can add and subtract 360 if the angle
is measured in degrees or 2 if the angle is measured in radians.
Example 1:
Find a positive and a negative angle coterminal with a 55 angle.
55 360 = 305
55 + 360 = 415
A 305 angle and a 415 angle are coterminal with a 55 angle.

Example 2:
