11pi/6 + 3pi/4 = 7pi/12
Let's get a common denominator and then add the fractions.
So we have
22pi/6 + 9pi/12 = 31pi/12
But, notice something....that this is just
24pi/12 + 7pi/12 .....And 24pi/12 is just 2pi.
So, in effect, 31pi/12 is the same "reference" angle as 7pi/12. We've just added another full rotation (2pi) to 7pi/12...
Does that make sense???
