Answer:

C

Explanation:

Coterminal angles are angles that have a common terminal side.

So, given an angle θ, its coterminal angles will always be ±360°. This can be repeated.

We have a 645° angle.

Therefore, all values of the equation:


645\pm 360n

Where n is an integer is coterminal with our original angle.

Letting n = 1 and using the negative case, we acquire:


\Rightarrow 645-360=285

Therefore, an angle measuring 285° is coterminal with a 645° angle.

None of the other options can be reached by adding/subtracting 360.

Therefore, our answer is C.
