\"+%28+7%2Api+%29%2F2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "You know that \"+%28+4%2Api+%29%2F2+=+2%2Api+\"
\n" ); document.write( "is a full circle and brings you back
\n" ); document.write( "to the zero angle
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Knowing also that
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+7%2Api+%29%2F2+=+%28+3%2Api+%29%2F2+%2B+%28+4%2Api+%29%2F2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "This becomes
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+7%2Api+%29%2F2+=+%28+3%2Api+%29%2F2+%2B+2%2Api+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+7%2Api+%29+%2F+2+=+%28+3%2Api+%29%2F2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "So, \"+%28+3%2Api+%29%2F2+\" is the smallest positive
\n" ); document.write( "angle that is co-terminal with
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+7%2Api+%29+%2F2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+7%2Api+%29+%2F+2+=+%28+3%2Api+%29+%2F+2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "=============================
\n" ); document.write( "\"+-7%2Api+%29%2F3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "You had to go in a negative ( CW ) direction
\n" ); document.write( "to get this angle. You know that:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+-+%28+6%2Api+%29+%2F+3+=+-+2%2Api+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Is a fill circle. You just went in a negative
\n" ); document.write( "direction to get there.
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Likewise,
\n" ); document.write( "\"+-+%28+7%2Api+%29+%2F+3+=+-+pi+%2F+3+-+%28+6%2Api+%29+%2F+3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "This becomes
\n" ); document.write( "\"+-+%28+7%2Api+%29+%2F+3+=+-+pi+%2F+3+-+2%2Api+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+-+%28+7%2Api+%29+%2F+3+=+-+pi+%2F+3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Now you just have to convert this to a positive
\n" ); document.write( "angle. If you went \"++2%2Api+\" and then backed up
\n" ); document.write( "\"+-+pi+%2F+3+\" that would be the same angle, so
\n" ); document.write( "I can say:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+-+pi+%2F+3+=++%28+6%2Api+%29+%2F+3+-+pi+%2F+3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+-+pi+%2F+3+=+%28+5%2Api+%29+%2F+3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "So, no I can say:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+-+%28+7%2Api+%29+%2F+3+=+%28+5%2Api+%29+%2F+3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
