Question 6509: Dear Sir/Madam,
I am confronted with the following problem:
"The angles with measures listed are all coterminal except:
A. π/3
B. -5π/3
C. -300 degrees
D. 420 degrees
E. -60 degrees"
What does coterminal mean and how would I solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
i found this website for you...
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/Local%20Settings/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/Content.IE5/QP3K1OV2/257,1,Positive Angles

copy all that into your browser and watch the pages.

Anyway coterminal means 2 angles that are the same (in terms of the "circle" view) so 0, 360, 720 etc are coterminal. 180, 540 and 900 etc are also coterminal.

so, check your list of angles and figure out :-)
