Find a Positive Angle Less Than 2π That Is Coterminal with the Given Angle

To find a positive angle less than 2π that is coterminal with a given angle, we need to subtract or add multiples of 360° (for degrees) or 2π (for radians) until we land within the desired range.

For 425 Degrees:

1. First, we subtract 360° from 425°:

425° – 360° = 65°

2. Since 65° is less than 360° and positive, it is coterminal with 425°.

Therefore, the positive angle less than 2π that is coterminal with 425° is 65°.

For 27π/4 Radians:

1. First, we convert 2π to a fraction with a common denominator to make the calculations easier. Since 2π = 8π/4, we can subtract multiples of 2π (8π/4):

27π/4 – 8π/4 = 19π/4

2. We can subtract again since 19π/4 is still greater than 2π:

19π/4 – 8π/4 = 11π/4

3. Subtracting once more gives us:

11π/4 – 8π/4 = 3π/4

4. Now, 3π/4 is less than 2π and positive.

Thus, the positive angle less than 2π that is coterminal with 27π/4 is 3π/4.
