What is Angle?

the space between two lines


or planes that intersect; the
inclination of one line to
another; measured in degrees
or radians.
There are three (3) units of
angle measure.

i. Revolution
ii. Degree Measure
iii. Radian Measure
Revolution
REVOLUTION (REV) IS THE SIMPLEST,
MOST NATURAL UNIT OF MEASURE FOR
GEOMETRIC ANGLES.
OTHER NAMES FOR THIS UNIT ARE FULL CIRCLE,
TURN, FULL TURN, AND ROTATION (ROT).

A revolution is the measure of an angle formed when the initial side rotates
all the way around its vertex until it reaches its initial position. Thus, the
terminal side is in the same exact position as the initial side.
1 Revolution = 360 degrees
One Degree = 60 minutes
1 Minute = 60 second

1 rev = 360°
1° = 60’
1’ = 60’’
Example: How to change angle measure in decimals to minutes
and seconds?

To convert the angle measure expressed in decimal into


minutes, multipy the tenths part by 60'.

i. 18.5°

i. 18.5° = 18°+0.5(60')
= 18°+30'
=18°30'
Reminder:
When an angle measure expressed as a decimal includes hours,
the hours remain the same upon conversion.
Example: How to change angle measure in decimals to minutes
and seconds?

To convert the angle measure expressed in decimal into


seconds, multipy the hundreths part by 60".

ii. 21.18° i. 21.18° = 21°+0.18(60')


= 21°+10.8'
=21°10'+0.8(60")
= 21°+10'+48"
Reminder:
When an angle measure expressed as a decimal includes hours,
the hours remain the same upon conversion.
One radian is the measure

RADIAN
of a central angle that
intercepts an arc s equal in
length to the radius r of the

MEASURE
circle. Since the circumference
of a circle is 2πr , one
revolution around a circle of
radius r corresponds to an
angle of 2π radians because
sr=2πrr=2π radians.
RADIAN MEASURE

Circumference
C = 2πr
=
C = 2π (1 rad)
Radian Measure
C = 2π rad
2π rad = 360°
π rad = 180°
rad = 180° 1°= 180°

______

Degrees to radians is a form of


conversion used to convert the
DEGREE MEASURE measurement of angles. Just like
every quantity has a unit of
TO measurement, angles also have
RADIAN MEASURE units for measurement. For
measuring the angles, degrees
and radians are used as the units
of measurement.
HOW TO CONVERT DEGREE
MEASURE TO RADIAN MEASURE?
To convert from degrees
to radians, multiply the
degrees by π/180°
radians.
DEGREES TO
FORMULA: RADIANS CHART:

Radians = Degrees × (π/180°)


EXAMPLE:

i. 20°
ii. 28°

Solution:

a) 20° × (π/180°) = π/9 Radians.


b) 28° × (π/180°) = 7π/45 Radians.
