Question21. Find the coterminal of 60

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. Coterminal angles share the same terminal side when drawn in standard position.
2. Coterminal angles can be found by adding or subtracting multiples of 360 degrees to the given angle.
3. We are looking for one coterminal angle of 60 degrees.

STEP 2

1. Define coterminal angles.
2. Add 360 degrees to the given angle to find a positive coterminal angle.
3. Subtract 360 degrees from the given angle to find a negative coterminal angle.

STEP 3

Define coterminal angles.
Coterminal angles are angles that differ by an integer multiple of 360 degrees. Mathematically, if θ\theta is the given angle, then the coterminal angles can be expressed as:
θ+360k \theta + 360k
where k k is any integer.

STEP 4

Find one positive coterminal angle by adding 360 degrees to 60 degrees.
60+360=420 60^\circ + 360^\circ = 420^\circ

STEP 5

Find one negative coterminal angle by subtracting 360 degrees from 60 degrees.
60360=300 60^\circ - 360^\circ = -300^\circ
Therefore, the coterminal angles of 60 degrees include 420 degrees and -300 degrees.
