    Trigonometry - is
    derived from the Greek
    words trigonon which
    means “triangle” and
    metron, which means
    “measure”. Hence, it is
    a branch of mathematics
    Definition 1
    An angle is formed by
    two lines or rays
    intersecting at a common
    point called the vertex.
    One ray or line
    determines the initial
    side of the angle, and
    Definition 1
    Angle measure – is the
    amount of the rotation
    done by the terminal side
    away from the initial
    side. A 1◦ angle is equal
    to of a complete
    revolution of the terminal

    A unit circle – is a circle
    whose center is at the
    origin and whose radius
    has a length of one unit,
    or r= 1.

    Definition 2
    Radian measure – is also known
    as the ratio between the length of
    the arc intercepted by a central
    angle and the length of the radius.
    Since r = 1 in a unit circle, the
    radian measure of the central
    angle is the same as the length of
    its intercepted arc.
    The following is the formula for
    radian measure:
    Example 1
    How long is the arc subtended by a central
    angle measuring
    rad if the circle has a radius of 20 cm ?
    Solution:
    We are given rad and r = 20 cm. Since ,
    we have
    (20)

    = 83.78 cm
    Thus, the subtended arc is about 83.78 cm long.

    Angles in Standard Position and Coterminal

    Angles
    An Angle is in Standard Position if the
    vertex is located at the origin and the
    initial side is on the positive x-axis.
    Angles in Standard Position and Coterminal

    By determining the Angles


    amount of rotation
    from the initial side to the terminal side,
    the angle can be measured. If the rotation
    is counterclockwise, the measurement is
    positive. If the rotation is clockwise, the
    measurement is negative.
    Angles in Standard Position and Coterminal

    Angles are
    Coterminal Angles angles in
    standard position having the same
    terminal side.
    Example 4
    Find positive and negative coterminal
    angles for an angle measuring
    Solution:
    To get a positive coterminal angle, add

    To get a negative coterminal angle,


    subtract

    Therefore, and are coterminal angles of .
