Problem

Answer the following questions about coterminal angles. (i) Define the term “coterminal angles.” (ii) Explain why adding or subtracting an integer multiple of 360∘360^{\circ} to a given angle leaves its terminal side unchanged when the angle is drawn in standard position. (iii) Illustrate, with a labelled sketch of the coordinate axes and rays, that 45∘45^{\circ} and 405∘405^{\circ} are coterminal angles. (iv) Determine, with justification, whether 45∘45^{\circ} and −315∘-315^{\circ} are coterminal angles.
