    This document discusses radian and degree measure of angles. It defines key terms like angle, degrees, radians, and coterminal angles. It explains that an angle can be measured in degrees or radians. One radian is the central angle that intercepts an arc equal to the radius of the circle. It provides formulas for converting between degrees and radians. Examples are given for finding coterminal angles and converting measurement units.

    always use an arrow to
    show direction.

    Radian and Degree Measure

    Measuring Angles
    The measure of an angle is determined by the amount of
    rotation from the initial side to the terminal side.

    There are two common ways to measure angles, in degrees


    and in radians.
    Well start with degrees, denoted by the symbol .
    One degree (1) is equivalent to a rotation of
    revolution.

    Classifying Angles

    Angles are often classified according to the quadrant


    in which their terminal sides lie.

    Ex1: Name the quadrant in which each angle lies.

    Coterminal Angles
    Angles that have the same initial and terminal sides are
    coterminal.

    Angles and are coterminal.

    Radian and Degree Measure

    Example of Finding Coterminal Angles


    You can find an angle that is coterminal to a given angle by
    adding or subtracting multiples of 360.
    In general, to find coterminal angles,
    = 360n
    where n is a positive integer
    Ex 2:
    Find one positive and one negative angle that are
    coterminal to 112.
    For a positive coterminal angle, add 360 : 112 + 360 = 472
    For a negative coterminal angle, subtract 360: 112 - 360 = -248
    10

    Ex 3. Find one positive and one negative angle that is


    coterminal with the angle = 30 in standard position.

    Ex 4. Find one positive and one negative angle that is


    coterminal with the angle = 272 in standard position.

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