Question
**Finding Coterminal Angles**

**Problem Statement:**  
Find a positive angle less than 360° or 2π that is coterminal with the given angle. 

**Given Angle:**  
-1,225°

**Options:**
- A. 215°
- B. 145°
- C. 865°
- D. 35°

To find a positive coterminal angle, you add or subtract 360° (or 2π radians) until you obtain an equivalent positive angle within the range of [0, 360°).

For the given example, -1,225°:

1. Add 360° repeatedly to -1,225° until the result is between 0 and 360°:

\[
-1225° + 360° = -865°
\]

\[
-865° + 360° = -505°
\]

\[
-505° + 360° = -145°
\]

\[
-145° + 360° = 215°
\]

Therefore, the coterminal angle for -1,225° is 215°, which is positive and less than 360°.

**Correct Answer:**  
A. 215°
