So far in this chapter, you have learned to evaluate trigonometric functions of a given angle. In this lesson, you will study the reverse problem—finding an angle that corresponds to a given value of a trigonometric function. Suppose you were asked to find an angle 0 whose sine is 0.5.

Solve the equation sin 0 = — | where 180° < 0 < 270°

Solution JIBP T Use a calculator to determine that in the

interval -90° < 0 < 90°, the angle whose

sine is — | is s in - 1 (--1) - -38.7°. This

16-1 Angles and the Unit Circle Consider a circle, centered a t the origin, with two rays extending

from the center as shown. One ray is fixed along the positive x-axis. The other ray can rotate about the center.

These rays form an angle. The fixed ray is called the init ial side of the angle. The other is called the terminal side of the angle.

terminal side An angle with its vertex at the origin and its initial side along the positive x-axis is said to be in standard position.

initial side

Start wi th both sides along the positive x-axis. As the terminal side is rotated counterclockwise, the measure of the angle formed increases.

30 degrees 150 degrees

The rotation of the terminal side of the angle may include one or more complete revolutions about the center. The measurement of an angle representing one complete revolution of the circle is 360 de-grees, usually writ ten 360°.

one revolution 360°

two revolutions 360° x 2 or 720°

Angles t ha t differ by one or more complete rotations of the circle are called c o t e r m i n a l ang l e s . For example, 74°, 434°, and 794° are coterminal angles.

210 degrees

The most widely used unit of angle measure is the degree.

three revolutions 360° x 3 or 1,080°
