Chapter 7: Trigonometric Functions Section 7.1: Measurement of Angles
Recall: An angle is formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint. The initial ray is where the angle measure begins. The terminal ray is where the angle measure ends.
Types of Angles Positive angle – counterclockwise rotation from the initial ray. Negative angle – clockwise rotation from the initial ray.
Common Angle Measures Fill in as many angle measures as you recall from Geometry: Acute: Obtuse: Right: Straight: Reflex:
Reflex Angles A Reflex Angle is one which is more than 180° but less than 360°
Units of Angle Measure Degree – common unit for smaller angles. Revolution – common unit for larger angles. Radian – the number of radius units in the arc length of the angle.
Conversions Degrees to radians use: Degrees ∙ Radians to degrees use: Radians ∙
Example 1: Covert the following degree measures into radian measures: 1)96º 2)27º 3)21º 4) 49º
Example 2: Convert the following radian measures to degree measures: 1)7π 2) 3)2π 4)
Central Angle To find the measure of a central angle, θ, use the following formula: θ = where s is the arc length and r is the radius of the circle.
Example 7: Using the formula, find the measure of the central angle, θ, if the radius is 8 and the arc length is 6.

Standard Position An angle is in standard position when it is shown on the coordinate plane with its vertex at the origin and the initial ray along the positive x-axis.
Other Special Angles Quadrantal angle – an angle where the terminal ray in standard position lies along an axis. The quadrantal angles are 0°, 90°, 180°, 270°, 360°, 450°, etc. and – 90°, – 180°, – 270°, – 360°, etc.
Coterminal angles – two angles (angles with the initial side on the positive x-axis) that have the same terminal ray when they are in standard position.
Coterminal Angles To find a positive coterminal angle, add 360º or 2π. Ex. 3: Find a positive coterminal angle of 74º. 434° Ex.4: Find a positive coterminal angle of.
Coterminal Angles To find a negative coterminal angle, subtract 360º or 2π until a negative angle is found. Ex. 5: Find a negative coterminal angle of 390º. -330° Ex. 6: Find a negative coterminal angle of π. - π
