Question

What would the standard angle of -480 degrees look like?

Answer 1

Option C

Step-by-step explanation

We want to find the standard position of -480 degrees.

Because it is a negative angle, instead of winding the angle (drawing the angle) in an anticlockwise direction, it will be drawn in a clockwise direction.

Also, 480 degrees is greater than 360 degrees, which is one complete revolution, so, we have to find the difference between 360 and 480 degrees.

That is:

480 - 360 = 120 degrees

So, after a complete revolution, an additional 120 degrees will be drawn.

The option that meets all these conditions is Option C.
