Which of these angles would be coterminal with a turn of ? there may be more than one answer. select all that apply. you should assume that positive angles are measured counterclockwise from standard position, and negative angles are measured clockwise from standard position.

a.280˚
b.-440˚
c.50π/9 radians
d.14π/9 radians

Final answer:

Coterminal angles share the same terminal side and adding or subtracting multiples of 360° or 2π radians find them. For each angle given, there are coterminal angles that can be found by this rule, such as 640° and -80° for 280° or angles less than 2π radians for c. 50π/9 and d. 14π/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which angles are coterminal with a given angle, we need to add or subtract multiples of 360° (or 2π radians) to the original angle. Coterminal angles are those that share the same terminal side when drawn in standard position on a coordinate plane. The original question seems to be missing the angle with which we're supposed to find coterminal angles, so I will assume that we need to find angles coterminal with each option provided (280°, -440°, 50π/9 radians, 14π/9 radians).

  • To find an angle coterminal with 280°, we can add 360° to get 640° or subtract 360° to get -80°. Both are coterminal with 280°.
  • For an angle coterminal with -440°, adding 360° gives us -80°, which is coterminal with -440°.
  • To find angles coterminal with 50π/9 radians, we can add or subtract multiples of 2π radians. Since 2π is approximately 6.2832 (50π/9 is roughly 17.45), we can subtract 6.2832 to find an angle less than 2π that is coterminal.
  • For an angle coterminal with 14π/9 radians, we can also add or subtract 2π to find coterminal angles. 14π/9 is approximately 4.8869, so adding 2π gives us an angle just over 2π that is coterminal.
