Angles and Degree Measure

2. Standard Position
An angle in standard position has its vertex at the origin and initial side on the positive x–axis.
terminal side
initial side

3. Positively Counterclockwise
Angles that have a counterclockwise rotation have a positive measure.
90º
130
180º 0º
270º

4. Clockwise means negative
Angles that have a clockwise rotation have a negative measure.
– 270º
– 180º 0º
– 130
– 90º

5. Unit Circle Now let’s look at angle measures 30, 150, 210, and 330.
They all form a 30° angle with the x-axis, so they should all have the same sine, cosine, and tangent values…only the signs will change!
The angle to the nearest x-axis is called the reference angle.
All angles with the same reference angle will have the same trig values except for sign changes.

6. Unit Circle A unit circle is a circle with radius 1.
If we have an angle between 0o and 90o in standard position. Let P(x, y) be the point of intersection. If a perpendicular segment is drawn we create a right triangle, where y is opposite θ and x is adjacent to θ.
Right triangles can be formed for angles greater than 90o, simply use the reference angle.

7. Radian…still
A point P(x, y) is on the unit circle if and only if its distance from the origin is 1.
The radian measure of an angle is the length of the corresponding arc on the unit circle.
Since
P(x, y) s α

8. Degree/Radian Conversion

9. Example 1 a. Change 115o to radian measure in terms of π..
b. Change radian to degree measure.

10. 30° and 45° Radians
You will need to know these conversions.

11. Coterminal Angles
Coterminal angles are angles that have the same initial and terminal side, but differ by the number of rotations.
Since one rotation equals 360, the measures of coterminal angles differ by multiples of 360.
60
300 =
300 – 360 =
420
– 60

12. Example 2 Find one positive and one negative coterminal angle. a. 45o
45o + 360o = 405o and 45o – 360 o = –315o
b. 225o
225o + 360o = 585o and 225o – 360 o = –135o

13. Trigonometric Functions
Chapter 13 Sec 3
Trigonometric Functions

14. Radius other than 1.
Suppose we have a hypotenuse with a length other than 1. For our example we’ll use r as the length.
In standard position r extends from the Origin to point P(x, y).

15. Quadrantal Angle
If a terminal side of an angle coincides with one of the axes, the angle is called a quadrantal angle. See below for examples:
A full rotation around the circle is 360o. Measures more than 360o represent multiple rotations.

16. Reference Angles
To find the values of trig functions of angles greater than 90, you will need to know how to find the measures of the reference angle.
If θ in nonquadrantal, its reference angle is formed by the terminal side of the given angle and the x-axis.

17. Example 1 Find the reference angle for each angle.
a. 312o Since 312o is between 270o and 360o the terminal side is in fourth quad. Therefore, 360o – 312o = 48o.
b. –195o
the coterminal angle is 360o – 195o = 165o this put us in the second quadrant so… 180o – 165o = 15o
