Example 48: Full Angle (-360 degrees)

Topic

Geometry

Description

This example features an angle of -360 degrees on a polar coordinate grid. The grid has angles marked in both positive and negative degrees, and the red line indicates a -360° angle, which completes a full circle back to 0°. Students are asked to identify the angle shown, with the solution explaining that a -360° angle is a full angle.

This example helps students understand how angles can represent full rotations while reinforcing knowledge about angular relationships within different contexts.

Teacher Script: "Let's examine this -360-degree angle, class. What makes it special? Can you explain why it's considered a full angle? How might understanding full rotations be useful in fields like robotics or navigation?"
