Every Turn at Once

Part of the Angles and the Unit Circle section of Coddy's Trigonometry journey. Lesson 12 of 57.

A value that occurs once in a turn occurs again in every turn. The height is 1 only at the top, 90°, but over three turns the top is reached three times: at 90°, at 90° + 360°, which is 450°, and at 90° + 720°, which is 810°.

So the angles with a given value come in families, one member per turn. Find the members in the first turn, then add 360° to each, again and again, until you leave the interval you were asked about. Every member of the family is coterminal with the first one.

Challenge

Tap every angle from 0° up to 1080° (three full turns) where the height is −1, sin(θ) = -1. The Turn buttons above the circle move between turns. Then press Check.
