Step 1: Two directed angles in standard position are co-terminal iff the difference of their measures is an integral multiple of 360°360°.

Step 2: Check each pair.

i) 210°−(−150°)=360°=1×360°210° - (-150°) = 360° = 1\times360° → co-terminal.

ii) 360°−(−30°)=390°360° - (-30°) = 390°, not a multiple of 360°360° → not co-terminal.

iii) 540°−(−180°)=720°=2×360°540° - (-180°) = 720° = 2\times360° → co-terminal.

iv) 675°−(−405°)=1080°=3×360°675° - (-405°) = 1080° = 3\times360° → co-terminal.

v) 860°−580°=280°860° - 580° = 280°, not a multiple of 360°360° → not co-terminal.

vi) 900°−(−900°)=1800°=5×360°900° - (-900°) = 1800° = 5\times360° → co-terminal.

✓Final answer

Co-terminal pairs: (i), (iii), (iv), (vi). Not co-terminal: (ii), (v).
