Angle Measures in Degrees & Radians Trigonometry 1.0 Students understand the notation of angle and how to measure it, in both degrees and radians. They can convert between degrees and radians. O A B
- (the side where the begins) – is always the positive x-axis. O A B The initial side (OA) The vertex is always at the origin. The terminal side (OB) - is the ray that forms the An angle is in standard position when: 1. The initial side is the positive x-axis 2. The vertex is at the origin. Angles in Standard Position

Degrees? 180˚ The terminal side ends up in quadrant __. Positive s are drawn counterclockwise. Draw a 135˚ . 90˚ 270˚ 0˚ Start on the positive x-axis. Quadrants? III IIIIV or 360˚ 135˚ II
Negative angles are drawn clockwise. (Start on the positive x-axis.) - 60˚ What Quadrant? ___IV - 210˚ What Quadrant? __II 0˚ -90˚ -180˚ -270˚ or -360˚ -60˚ -210˚
Radian Measure The distance around a circle is 360°. x y r The distance around a circle is also 2πr. So, 2πr = 360°. In trigonometry, we deal with a “unit circle” where the radius is 1. Therefore: 2π = 360° or π = 180° That’s radian measure!

Arc Length s = rθ arc length = radius · angle (in radians) s r θ Determine the arc length of a circle of radius 6 cm intercepted by an angle of π/2. s = (π/2)·6 s = 3π cm
If the central angle is given in degrees, change it to radians in the problem! Find the arc length to the nearest tenth of a centimeter of a circle of radius 7 cm that is intercepted by a central angle of 85°. s = 7(85)(π/180) s = 10.4 cm
