Question

Find the angle between$0^{\circ }\text{\hspace{0.17em}and\hspace{0.17em}\hspace{0.17em}}{360}^{\circ }$ that is coterminal with the given angle.

$-{100}^{\circ }$

Short answer

The Coterminal Angle between$0^{\circ }\text{\hspace{0.17em}and\hspace{0.17em}\hspace{0.17em}}{360}^{\circ }$ for$-{100}^{\circ }$ is ${\mathbf{260}}^{\mathbf{\circ }}$.

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Given information.

The given angle is:

$-{100}^{\circ }$.

Step 2. Explanation.

We need to evaluate the value of the Coterminal angle.

To achieve the coterminal angle with $-{100}^{\circ }$ we subtract ${360}^{\circ }$ from it.

Step 3. Calculation.

The resulting value of coterminal angle with a given angle$\theta \text{\hspace{0.17em}is\hspace{0.17em}}=\theta +x\left({360}^{\circ }\right)$

Where $x$is the multiple of ${360}^{\circ }$.

For$\theta =-{100}^{\circ },x=1$

Thus,

$$\begin{gathered} \text{Coterminal\hspace{0.17em}Angle}=-{100}^{\circ }+1\left({360}^{\circ }\right) \\ ={260}^{\circ } \end{gathered}$$

The value of the Coterminal Angle is ${260}^{\circ }$.
