In the Cartesian plane, an angle is measured in the anti-clockwise direction from the x-axis. A negative angle is measured in the clockwise direction from the x-axis.
However, an angle is effectively the same if you add or subtract 360 degrees. So, if you are faced with a negative angle just keep adding 360 degrees until you have a positive value.

Why are cosines positive and negative?
Because the cosine of some angles is positive and the cosine of some other angles is negative.
Is there a positive or a negative angle?
Yes. Angles may be measured from the direction of the positive horizontal axis and, clockwise is negative, anticlockwise is positive.
What are negative quadrant angles?
using protactor, we use to draw angles in anticlockwise direction and that angles are called positive quadrant angles. and angles in clockwise direction, these angles are called negative quadrant angles.
What is a negative - positive?
Negative * positive = negative Positive * positive = positive Negative * negative = positive
When multiplying numbers what do you do with the positive and negative signs?
Negative * positive = negative Positive * positive = positive Negative * negative = positive
What are positive and negative angle?
positive and negative angles of 87 degrees

Which angle has a negative sine and a positive cosine?
All the angles in 4th quadrant have positive cosine and negative sine e.g. 280,290,300,310...etc.
What is the difference between positive and negative angles?
Essentially, none. Every negative angle can be made positive by adding 2*pi radians (or 360 degrees, or a multiple).
What properties must an object have in order to magnify another object?
positive angles of refraction or diffraction; negative angles of reflection; narrow aberration
Is a positive plus a negative make a positive or a negative?
Positive + Negative = Negative Negative + Negative = Positive Positive + Positive = Positive Negative + Positive = Negative
What is a negative - positive?
Negative * positive = negative Positive * positive = positive Negative * negative = positive
Can an angle be negative?
Visually it doesn't make sense for an angle to be negative. However we often measure angles off of some axis, such as the x-axis, and positive angles go around counter-clockwise, while negative angles go around clockwise. Outside of the context of a Cartesian Coordinate system (x-y plane), negative angles don't generally make sense.
How is dividing integers similar to multiplying integers with the resulting sign?
The rules for the sign (positive or negative) of the result of a multiplication is the same as division. For multiplication: Positive * Positive --> Positive Positive * Negative --> Negative Negative * Positive --> Negative Negative * Negative --> Positive For division: Positive / Positive --> Positive Positive / Negative --> Negative Negative / Positive --> Negative Negative / Negative --> Positive
If a negative is divided by a positive is it negative?
Yes. Negative/negative = positive Postive/Positive = positive Negative/Positive - negative
