Understand that an angle in standard position has its vertex at the origin and its initial side along the positive x-axis.
Recognize that if two angles have terminal sides that coincide, it means their terminal sides lie on the same ray from the origin.
Recall that angles with coinciding terminal sides differ by full rotations of 360° (or \$2\pi$ radians), so they represent the same direction in the plane.
Identify which given angles have terminal sides that coincide by comparing their positions or measures modulo 360°.
Conclude that the angle Julian describes is the one(s) whose terminal side matches both \(\angle h\) and \(\angle k\), meaning \(\angle h\) and \(\angle k\) share the same terminal side.
