Degree Measure The number system we use today is based on 10 Over 2500 years ago, the Babylonians used a number system based on 60 The number system we use today is based on 10 However we still use the Babylonian idea to measure certain things such as time and angles. That is why there are 60 minutes in an hour and 60 seconds in a minute.
The Babylonians divided a circle into 360 equally spaced units which we call degrees. In the DMS (degree minute second) system of angular measure, each degree is subdivided into 60 minutes (denoted by ‘ ) and each minute is subdivided into 60 seconds (denoted by “)
Since there are 60 ‘ in 1 degree we can convert degrees to minutes by multiplying by the conversion ratio
Convert 34.80 to DMS We need to convert the fractional part to minutes
Convert 112.420 to DMS Convert the fractional part Convert the fractional part of the minutes into seconds
Convert 42024’36’’ to degrees This is the reverse of the last example. Instead if multiplying by 60, we need to divide by 60
Radian Measure The circumference of a circle is 2πr In a unit circle, r is 1, therefore the circumference is 2π A radian is an angle measure given in terms of π. In trigonometry angles are measured exclusively in radians! 1
Radian Measure Since the circumference of a circle is 2π radians, 2π radians is equivalent to 360 degrees 1
Radian Measure Half of a revolution (1800) is equivalent to radians 1
Radian Measure One fourth of a revolution (900) is equivalent to radians 1
Since there are 2π radians per 3600, we can come up with the conversion ratio of degrees radians Which reduces to degrees
To convert degrees to radians multiply by
To convert radians to degrees multiply by
To convert 900 to radians we can multiply 2 radians
We also know that 900 is ¼ of 2π radians
Arc length formula If θ (theta) is a central angle in a circle of radius r, and if θ is measured in radians, then the length s of the intercepted arc is given by THIS FORMULA ONLY WORKS WHEN THE ANGLE MEASURE IN IS RADIANS!!! r s θ
Angle- formed by rotating a ray about its endpoint (vertex) Terminal Side Ending position Initial Side Starting position Initial side on positive x-axis and the vertex is on the origin Standard Position
120° –210° Angle describes the amount and direction of rotation Positive Angle- rotates counter-clockwise (CCW) Negative Angle- rotates clockwise (CW)
Coterminal Angles Angles with the same initial side and same terminal side, but have different rotations, are called coterminal angles. 50° and 410° are coterminal angles. Their measures differ by a multiple of 360.
Q: Can we ever rotate the initial side counterclockwise more than one revolution? Answer – YES! BACK NEXT EXIT
Note: Complete Revolutions Rotating the initial side counter-clockwise 1 rev., 2 revs., 3revs., . . . generates the angles which measure 360, 720, 1080, . . . BACK NEXT EXIT

ANGLES 360, 720, & 1080 ARE ALL COTERMINAL ANGLES!
What if we start at 30 and now rotate our terminal side counter-clockwise 1 rev., 2 revs., or 3 revs. BACK NEXT EXIT
