Part 2 : Angles in Standard Position and Coterminal Angles
An angle is in standard position if its vertex is at the origin and its initial
side lies along the positive x-axis. A positive angle is measured
counterclockwise from the initial side and a negative angle is measured
clockwise.
Sketch each of the following angles in standard position.

Coterminal angles: are angles in standard position (angles with the
initial side on the positive x-axis) that have a common terminal side. The
degree measure of coterminal angles differs always by multiples of 360
ACTIVITY:
Give 2 coterminal angles, one positive and one negative for each of the following.

Part 3 : Unit Circle
A unit circle is a circle of unit radius with center at origin. A circle is a closed
geometric figure such that all the points on its boundary are at equal distance
from its center. For a unit circle, this distance is 1 unit, or the radius is 1 unit.
