Practice problems :
130°
130+360=490
130°
-230°
360-130 = -230
For each angle, find the nearest two positive coterminal angles
and the nearest two negative coterminal angles :
(+) (-)
4-) -π/3
(+) (-)
.
2π - π/3 = 5π/3 -π/3 - 2π = 7π/3
2π + 5π/3 = 11π/3 -π/3 x (2π -2)=-13π/3

Acapulco, Mexico and Hyderabad, India both lie at 17" north latitude, and lie very nearly
halfway around the world from each other in an cast-west you could fly from Acapulco
directly west to Hyderabad or fly directly north to Hyderabad. Which way would be shorter,
and by how much? Use 3960 miles for Earth's radius. (Hint: To fly directly north, you would
go from 17" north latitude to 90" north latitude, and then back down to 17" north latitude.)
1-) west : circumference = 2 x π x r = 2 x π x 3790 = 23820 miles. Then , flying directly west
would be 23820 miles /2 =11,910 miles.
2-) north: distance to North Pole = (90-17) miles x (π/180) x 3860 = 4410 miles. Distance to North Pole
by flying = 4410+4410 =8,820 miles.
Then flying north would be shorter than flying west. By almost 11910-8820 = 3390 miles.
