Trigonometry

How to solve

Angles that differ by a multiple of 360° point the same way. Strip whole turns until the angle lands in [0°, 360°).

Steps

  1. If the angle is 360° or more, subtract 360° repeatedly.
  2. If it is negative, add 360° repeatedly.
  3. Stop once the result is at least 0° and under 360°.

Example

Coterminal angle of 855° in [0°, 360°)?

  1. 855 − 360 = 495.
  2. 495 − 360 = 135.

Answer: 135
