Objectives:
1. Measure angles in degrees and radians
2. Find coterminal angles
 Trigonometry

comes from Greek
words meaning “triangle
measurement.”
 Has been used for centuries in
navigation and surveying.
 In

trig, angles represent rotations
about a point.
 One revolution (complete rotation)
contains 360 .
 Degrees can be divided into 60
minutes and each minute into 60
seconds.
 Example: 25 20’6” is 25 degrees, 20
minutes, and 6 seconds
 Examples:

12.3 = 12 + 0.3(60)’ = 12 18’
 Convert
 200

40’

to a decimal:
 One

radian is the measure of a
central angle whose arc length is
equal to the radius.
A

central angle θ (in radians) is:

where s = arc length and r = radius
 Also,

s = rθ
1

revolution = 360 = 2π radians
 ½ revolution = 180 = π radians
 To

convert:
 Convert

 Convert

-220 to radians (π).

to degrees.
 Convert

 Convert

196 to radians (decimal).

1.35 radians to decimal
degrees.
 Vertex

at origin
 Initial ray on + x-axis
 Counterclockwise rotation is +
 Clockwise rotation is -
 Two

angles in std. position are
coterminal if they have the same
terminal ray.
 Each angle has infinitely many
coterminal angles.
 Find

two angles, one + and one -,
that are coterminal with π/4. Sketch
all 3 angles.
 Find

two (+ and -) coterminal angles
of 4π/3.
