CH 5.1 - Angles

The document discusses angles, including: - How an angle is formed by a fixed initial side and rotating terminal side - Standard position of an angle with the vertex at the origin and initial side on the positive x-axis - Measuring angles in degrees by rotating the terminal side clockwise or counterclockwise - Coterminal angles that have the same terminal side but can differ by multiples of 360 degrees - Converting between degrees and radians by multiplying degrees by π/180 and radians by 180/π - Reference angles for angles not in the first quadrant - Converting between degrees, minutes, seconds and decimal degree formats

1 – Angles DAY 1

In a coordinate plane, an angle can be formed


by fixing one ray, called the initial side, and
rotating the other ray, called the terminal side,
about the vertex.

An angle is in standard position if its vertex


is at the origin and its initial side lies on the
positive x – axis.



The measure of an angle can be __________________ if the terminal side is rotated


counter-clockwise and __________________ if the terminal side is rotated clockwise.
The terminal side can rotate more than once!

Example 1 Draw the angle in standard position.

a) 240° b) 500° c) -50°

The angles 500° and 140° are coterminal because their terminal sides coincide. An
angle coterminal with a given angle can be found by adding or subtracting multiples
of 360°

Example 2 Find one positive and one negative angle that are coterminal with the
given angles.

a) -45° b) 395°
RADIANS

Converting Between Degrees and Radians

Degrees to Radians Radians to Degrees


Multiply the degree measure Multiply the radian measure
by π radians by 180 degrees
180 degrees π radians



Example 3 Convert the angle from degrees to radians or radians to degrees

a) 125° b) c) d) 30°
Let be an angle in standard position. The reference angle for
is the acute angle formed by the terminal side of and the
x – axis. The relationship between and is shown below for
non-quadrantal angles such the

Example Four Find the reference angle of each of the following:

(a) (b) (c)

(d) (e) (f)


Converting Between Degrees, Minutes, Seconds and Decimal Forms:

5) 27°25’36” to degrees.
1 rev = 360°

1° = 60’
1’ = 60”
1° = _____”



6) 52.368° to D°M’S” form.

Application:

Find the distance between Erie, PA with a location of 42° 5' 25" N and Savannah, GA
with a location 31°57’ N. Assume the Earth’s radius is 3960 mi.
