Let $\theta$ be an angle such that P is the terminal point of $\theta$ :

Some of the points Q,S,R,T can be the terminal point of $\theta$ /2.

Not sure what $\theta$ /2 looks like, any advice?

The possible terminal points of $\theta/2$ are R and T.

no, that is incorrect, but why would R and T be equal to $\theta$ /2

The angle $\theta$ goes anti-clockwise from the positive x-axis around to the red line. The angle $\theta/2$ would go half-way (again in an anti-clockwise direction) from the positive x-axis towards the red line. It would therefore get to point Q.

Thank you! That makes sense

Edit: I also noticed that point S is also a terminal point of $\theta$ /2
