Determine whether the angles are coterminal 3pi/4 and 29pi/4

1 answer

To determine whether two angles are coterminal, we need to see if they end in the same position after completing one or more full revolutions around the circle.

Angle 3π/4:
One full revolution is equal to 2π radians. Therefore, 3π/4 is equivalent to 11π/4 after completing one full revolution.

Angle 29π/4:
To simplify the angle, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by 4:
29π/4 = 7(4π/4) + π/4 = 7π + π/4.

Here, we see that angle 29π/4 can be broken down into a multiple of 2π plus π/4. This tells us that it also completes one full revolution and ends in the same position as angle 3π/4.

Therefore, the angles 3π/4 and 29π/4 are coterminal.
