Answer:

140 degrees

Explanation:

Hi there!

To find a coterminal angle, we must either add or subtract a multiple of 360 to a given angle.

Because the given angle is -1300 degrees and we must find a coterminal angle between 0 and 360 degrees, we can try adding multiples of 360 to 1300 degrees.

You'll find that after we add 360 four times, we get 140 degrees. 140 degrees sits between 0 and 360 degrees. Therefore, the angle between 0 and 360 degrees coterminal with the angle measuring -1300 degrees is 140 degrees.

I hope this helps!
