Angle Measures

The document discusses angle measurement in trigonometry, including defining angles, measuring angles in degrees and radians, converting between degree and radian measures, and identifying coterminal angles. An angle is formed by rotating a ray about its endpoint and can be positive or negative depending on rotation direction. Standard position defines an angle with its vertex at the origin and initial side on the positive x-axis to simplify angle identification and measurement.

TRIGONOMETRY

ANGLE MEASURE
Introduction
Angles are being used in several fields like
engineering, medical imaging, electronics,
astronomy, geography and many more. Added to
that, surveyors, pilots, landscapers, designers,
soldiers, and people in may other professions
heavily use angles and trigonometry to
accomplish a variety of practical tasks. In this
lesson, we will deal with the basics of angle
measures together with arc length and sectors.
ANGLE MEASUREMENT

A angle is formed by rotating a ray


about its endpoint. An angle is said
to be positive (+) if the ray rotates
in a counterclockwise direction, and
the angle is negative (─) if it rotates
in a clockwise direction.

STANDARD POSITION

An angle is in STANDARD
POSITION if it is drawn in the
XY-PLANE with its vertex at
the origin and its initial side
on the positive x-axis.
STANDARD POSITION
The angles
𝜶, 𝜽, 𝜷 are

position
CENTRAL ANGLE
A central angle of a circle measures
one degree, written 1⁰, if it
intercepts 1/360 of the
circumference of the circle. One
minute, written 1’, is 1/60 of 1⁰,
while one second, written 1’’, is
1/60 of 1’.
Examples:
In degrees, minutes, & seconds:
10⁰ 30’ 18’’ = 10⁰ (30 + 18/60)’
= 10⁰ 30.3’
= (10 + 30.3/60)⁰
= 10.505⁰
Examples:
In degrees only:
79.251⁰ = 79⁰ (0.251 x 60)’
= 79⁰ 15.06’
= 79⁰ 15’ (0.06 x 60)’’
= 79⁰ 15’ 3.6’’
CENTRAL ANGLE
A central angle of the unit
circle that intercepts an arc of
the circle with length 1 unit is
said to have a measure of one
radian (1 rad.)
CENTRAL ANGLE

1 rad ≈
57.3⁰ 1 radian

3. One revolution around a circle is
equivalent to tracing 360⁰

Special Angles in Standard Position
COTERMINAL ANGLES
Two angles in standard position
that have a common terminal
side are called coterminal angles.
Observe that the degree
measures of coterminal angles
differ by multiples of 360⁰.
Examples:

Standard
Position
0⁰
Examples:
Coterminal angle of −52⁰
360⁰ − 52⁰ = 308⁰
Coterminal angle of 150⁰
360⁰ + 150⁰ = 510⁰ (CLOCKWISE)
360⁰ − 150⁰ = −210⁰ (COUNTER)
Examples:

To find one coterminal angle


with an angle that measures
410⁰, just subtract 360⁰,
resulting 50⁰.
410⁰ ─ 360⁰ = 50⁰
Examples:

Find the angle coterminal with


─ 380⁰ that has measure:
1. Between 0⁰ and 360⁰
2. Between ─ 360⁰ and 0⁰
Solution:

A negative angle moves in


clockwise direction, and the
angle ─ 380⁰ lies in Quadrant IV:
1. ─ 380⁰ + 360⁰ (2) = 340⁰
2. ─ 380⁰ + 360⁰ = ─ 20⁰
