Certainly. A negative angle is simply clockwise instead of counterclockwise from the zero angle, but this is usually not indicated as such on a drawing.

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.


Can you find the reference angle of a quadrantal angle?
