and angles
Standard Position
of an Angle
Angle in Standard Position
It is easy to see the direction of an angle if it
is presented in reference to a rectangular
coordinate system. Let the origin of the
coordinate system be at the vertex of the
angle and let the positive half of the x-axis
form the initial side of the angle. The
terminal side shall be in any of the four
quadrants of the coordinate system. Angle
drawn in this manner are called angles in
standard position.
Angle in Standard
Position
An angle in standard position
has for its initial side the
positive half of the x-axis in a
rectangular coordinate
system.
Let’s look at an angle in standard position, where the
initial side is ALWAYS on the positive x-axis and the
vertex is at the origin. The terminal side can be
anywhere and defines the angle.
A positive angle is described
by starting at the initial side
and rotating
counterclockwise to the
terminal side (angle ).

A negative angle is
described by rotating
clockwise (angle ).
Depending upon the degree measure of the angle, the
terminal side can land in one of the four quadrants.
Angles can be larger than 360º
by simply wrapping around the
quadrants again.
(450º, 540º, 630º, 720º, etc.)

Angles  and  are
coterminal since they share
the same sides.
Coterminal Angles are angles that share the same
terminal side, but have different angle measures.
There are also several other
angles that are coterminal to  .
To find a coterminal angle:
add or subtract 360º (or any multiple of 360o)
to the given angle .
Both are
coterminal
angles to 
Example:
35 + 360 = 395º
= 35º

Trigonometry Daffodil
The flowers of a Trigonometry Daffodil are of almost
geometric precision with their repeating patterns.
Repeating patterns occur in sound, light, tides, time, and
nature.
To analyse these repeating, cyclical patterns, we need to
study the cyclical functions branch of trigonometry.

Radian Measure: Trig and Calculus
The radian measure of an angle is the ratio of arc length of a
sector to the radius of the circle.
