Find the measure of an angle with measure between 0° and 360° that is co-terminal with an angle measuring 800°
co terminal angles sum up to 360 or multiples of 360
360, 720, 1080, 1440 etc
800 +280 = 1080 (280)

Answer: 80 degrees

Explanation:
Since 800 is larger than 360, we subtract off 360 to get
800-360 = 440
which is still too large. Again we subtract off another 360
440-360 = 80
and we're now in range between 0 and 360

The angles 80 degrees and 800 degrees point in the same direction, so they are coterminal angles.
