2. Objectives: Recognize and use the vocabulary of angles.
Use degree measure.
Use radian measure.
Convert between degrees and radians.
Draw angles in standard position.
Find coterminal angles.
Find the length of a circular arc.

3. Angles
An angle is formed by two rays that have a common endpoint. One ray is called the initial side and the other the terminal side.

4. Angles (continued)
An angle is in standard position if its vertex is at the origin of a rectangular coordinate system and its initial side lies along the positive x-axis.

5. Angles (continued)
When we see an initial side and a terminal side in place, there are two kinds of rotations that could have generated the angle.
Positive angles are generated by counterclockwise rotation. Thus, angle is positive. Negative angles are generated by clockwise rotation. Thus, angle is negative.

6. Angles (continued)
An angle is called a quadrantal angle if its terminal side lies on the x-axis or on the y-axis. Angle is an example of a quadrantal angle.

7. Measuring Angles Using Degrees
Angles are measured by determining the amount of rotation from the initial side to the terminal side. A complete rotation of the circle is 360 degrees, or 360°.
An acute angle measures less than 90°.
A right angle measures 90°.
An obtuse angle measures more than 90° but less than 180°.
A straight angle measures 180°.

8. Measuring Angles Using Radians
An angle whose vertex is at the center of the circle is called a central angle. The radian measure of any central angle of a circle is the length of the intercepted arc divided by the circle’s radius.

9. Definition of a Radian
One radian is the measure of the central angle of a circle that intercepts an arc equal in length to the radius of the circle.

10. Radian Measure

11. Example: Computing Radian Measure
A central angle, in a circle of radius 12 feet intercepts an arc of length 42 feet. What is the radian measure of ?
The radian measure of is 3.5 radians.

12. Conversion between Degrees and Radians

13. Example: Converting from Degrees to Radians
Convert each angle in degrees to radians:
a. 60°
b. 270°
c. –300°

14. Example: Converting from Radians to Degrees

15. Drawing Angles in Standard Position
The figure illustrates that when the terminal side makes one full revolution, it forms an angle whose radian measure is The figure shows the quadrantal angles formed by 3/4, 1/2, and 1/4 of a revolution.

obtained by rotating the terminal
side clockwise.

20. Degree and Radian Measures of Angles Commonly Seen in Trigonometry
In the figure below, each angle is in standard position, so that the initial side lies along the positive x-axis.

22. Positive Angles in Terms of Revolutions of the Angle’s Terminal Side Around the Origin (continued)

23. Coterminal Angles
Two angles with the same initial and terminal sides but
possibly different rotations are called coterminal angles.

24. Example: Finding Coterminal Angles
Assume the following angles are in standard position. Find a positive angle less than 360° that is coterminal with each of the following:
a. a 400° angle
400° – 360° = 40°
b. a –135° angle
–135° + 360° = 225°

25. Example: Finding Coterminal Angles
Assume the following angles are in standard position. Find a positive angle less than that is coterminal with each of the following:
a. a angle
b. a angle

26. The Length of a Circular Arc

27. Example: Finding the Length of a Circular Arc
A circle has a radius of 6 inches. Find the length of the arc intercepted by a central angle of 45°. Express arc length in terms of Then round your answer to two decimal places.
We first convert 45° to radians:

28. Definitions of Linear and Angular Speed

29. Linear Speed in Terms of Angular Speed

30. Example: Finding Linear Speed
Long before iPods that hold thousands of songs and play them with superb audio quality, individual songs were delivered on 75-rpm and 45-rpm circular records. A 45-rpm record has an angular speed of 45 revolutions per minute. Find the linear speed, in inches per minute, at the point where the needle is 1.5 inches from the record’s center.
Before applying the formula we must express in terms of radians per minute:

Be sure to set the mode to degrees or radians, depending on the function that you are evaluating. You may consult the manual for your calculator for specific directions for evaluating trigonometric functions.

54. Applications: Angle of Elevation and Angle of Depression
An angle formed by a horizontal line and the line of sight to an object that is above the horizontal line is called the angle of elevation. The angle formed by the horizontal line and the line of sight to an object that is below the horizontal line is called the angle of depression.
