Hey what’s the answer to this
### Understanding Coterminal Angles

#### Question:
**What is a coterminal angle of \( \frac{\pi}{4} \)?**

#### Choices:
- **A.** \( \frac{9\pi}{4} \)
- **B.** \( \frac{\pi}{2} \)
- **C.** \( \frac{3\pi}{4} \)

Coterminal angles are angles that share the same initial and terminal sides. They can be found by adding or subtracting \( 2\pi \) from the given angle in radians. 

#### Solution:
To determine the coterminal angles of \( \frac{\pi}{4} \):

1. Add \( 2\pi \):
   \[
   \frac{\pi}{4} + 2\pi = \frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{8\pi}{4} = \frac{9\pi}{4}
   \]

2. Subtract \( 2\pi \):
   \[
   \frac{\pi}{4} - 2\pi = \frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{8\pi}{4} = -\frac{7\pi}{4}
   \]

Therefore, from the given options, the coterminal angle of \( \frac{\pi}{4} \) provided is:

**A. \( \frac{9\pi}{4} \)**

Make sure to explore other coterminal angles using similar calculations to reinforce the concept.
