Question 113927: I hope this is in the right section, please forgive me if it isn't!

My directions are: Find the measure of an angle betwen 0 degrees and 360 degrees coterminal with each given angle.

One of my problems is: 482 degrees

Now, I missed half the notes my teacher had on this lesson because I was checked out of class, but I remember her saying something about subtracting or adding 360 degrees to find the answer? But I'm not completely sure.

Well, for this problem I subtracted 360 degrees from 482 and got 122 degrees. Is that the coterminal then? or is there something else I must do? When would I have to add 360 degrees?

Can someone help me with this please? Thanks in advance!

You are correct. You simply subtract multiples of 360 (in this case you only subtracted once) to get a smaller coterminal angle. If you were to draw these angles, you would find out that they overlap each other.
