To find the smallest positive angle coterminal with -40°, you add 360° to -40°, resulting in 320°. Coterminal angles are angles in standard position (angles with the initial side on the positive x-axis) that have a common terminal side. Since 360° represents a full circle, adding or subtracting multiples of 360° to an angle gives you an angle that is coterminal with the original angle.
