Angles and their Measures
Lesson 1
As derived from the Greek Language, the word trigonometry means “measurement of triangles.”
Initially, trigonometry dealt with relationships among the sides and angles of triangles and was used in the development of astronomy, navigation, and surveying.
With the development of Calculus and the physical sciences in the 17th Century, a different perspective arose – one that viewed the classic trigonometric relationships as functions with the set of real numbers as their domain.
Consequently the applications expanded to include physical phenomena involving rotations and vibrations, including sound waves, light rays, planetary orbits, vibrating strings, pendulums, and orbits of atomic particles.
We will explore both perspectives beginning with angles and their measures…..
An angle is determined by rotating a ray about its endpoint.
The starting position of called the initial side. The ending position is called the terminal side.
Standard PositionVertex is at the origin, and the initial side is on the x-axis.

Positive Angles are generated by counterclockwise rotation.
Negative Angles are generated by clockwise rotation.
Let’s take a look at how negative angles are labeled on the coordinate graph.

Coterminal Angles
Angles that have the same initial and terminal side. See the examples below.
Coterminal AnglesThey have the same initial and terminal sides.
Determine 2 coterminal angles, one positive and one negative for a 60 degree angle.
60
60 + 360 = 420 degrees
60 – 360 = -300 degrees
Give 2 coterminal angles.
30
30 + 360 = 390 degrees
30 – 360 = -330 degrees
Give a coterminal angle, one positive and one negative.
230
230 + 360 = 590 degrees
230 – 360 = -130 degrees
Give a coterminal angle, one positive and one negative.
20
-20 + 360 = 340 degrees
-20 – 360 = -380 degrees
Give a coterminal angle, one positive and one negative.
460 + 360 = 820 degrees
460 – 360 = 100 degrees100 – 360 = -260 degrees

Complementary AnglesSum of the angles is 90
40 120
Find the complement of each angles:
40 + x = 90
x = 50 degrees
No Complement!
Supplementary AnglesSum of the angles is 180
40 120
Find the supplement of each angles:
40 + x = 180
x = 140 degrees
120 + x = 180
x = 60 degrees

Radian Measure
One radian is the measure of the central angle, , that intercepts an arc, s, that is equal in length to the radius r of the circle.
So…1 revolution is equal to 2π radians
