THE UNIT
CIRCLE
• What do you call this circle of radius one unit and with the center at
the origin?
A "unit circle" is a type of circle
where the origin of the
rectangular coordinate system
is found at the center and
the radius should be always
equal to 1 unit. Since the
equation of a circle is denoted
as

In the figure shown below, 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. The
initial side of ∠AOB is OA, while its terminal side is OB.

If the angle is in standard position and whose
terminal side lies on the x- or y- axis (such as 0º,
90º, 180º, 270º, 360º ), the angle is called Quadrantal
angle.

UNITS OF ANGLE
• A revolution is the measure of an angle formed when the initial
side rotates all the way around its vertex until it reaches its
initial position.
MEASURE
• A more common way to measure angles is in degrees. There
are 360 degrees in one revolution. Degrees can be subdivided,
too. One degree is equal to 60 minutes, and one minute is equal
to 60 seconds. Therefore, an angle whose measure is one second
has a measure of degrees.
• Radians are alternate units used to measure angles in trigonometry.
A radian is based on the radius of a circle. One radian (abbreviated
rad) is the angle created by bending the radius length around the arc
of a circle.
CONVERTING DEGREE TO RADIAN AND
Since a unit circle has circumference , a central

angle that measures has measure equivalent to
radians. Thus, we obtain the following conversion
rules:

EXAMPLES: To convert to degree measure.
there are times that the given degree measure is in the
degree/minute/second form (or DMS mode). However, instead of
using minutes and seconds, we shall usually convert them to
fractions of 1 degree.
1 minute, written , is of or
1 second, written , is of or

PERFORMANCE TASK
Direction: Do the indicated task individually. Apply the concepts you gained
about unit circles while doing this performance task. Do this on graphing
paper.
1. Draw a unit circle. It must include the angle measures in both degrees and
radians and the coordinates at each point.
2. All units must be created at hand.
3. Consider an innovative design for your unit circle.
