find the angle of least positive measure that is coterminal with A. a=-144 deg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is there more information with the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no but i have to find the measure in degree

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you understand that 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 2π if the angle is measured in radians?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For example: Find a positive & a negative angle coterminal with a 55 degree angle. 55 - 360 = -305 55 + 360 = 415 A - 305 degree angle & a 415 degree angle are coterminal with a 55 degree angle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For this, you would find the positive & negative angles that are coterminal with -144.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then what does least positive mean lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have a correction. You already have the negative angle, so take 360-144 & tell me what you get.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

216

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now add that to 360

OpenStudy (anonymous):

576

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's your least positive.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

awsome thanks i dint get the last two steps thanks for clarafying
