LESSON 1: UNIT CIRCLE
Learning Competency:
When you rotate a ray about its endpoint, an angle is formed. Below is an
∠𝑃𝑀𝐿 whose Initial side is ML and the terminal side is MP. The sign of an angle is
determined by the direction of the rotation of the ray. A positive angle is formed if the ray
rotates in a counterclockwise direction, while a negative angle is formed if it rotates in a
clockwise direction.
An angle in standard position is drawn in the 𝑥𝑦-plane with its vertex at the origin and
its initial side on the positive 𝑥-axis. The angles 𝛼, 𝛽, and 𝜃are angles in standard
position. See illustration below.
,
The measure of an angle is expressed in degrees minutes, seconds, and radians. One
complete rotation is 360°. If a central angle intercepts 1/36 of the circle, then it
measures one degree and is written 1°. Meanwhile, one minute (written as 1’) is
equivalentto 1/60 of 1°. In addition, one second (written as 1’’) is 1/60 of 1’.
Example 1.
A. Express the minute-second measures of the angles into decimal degrees: 5°12′
Solution.
5⁰12’ = 5⁰ + 12’(1°/60′)
= 5⁰ + (12/60)⁰
= 5⁰ + 0.2⁰
= 5.2⁰
B. Express the minute-second measures of the angles into decimal degrees: 12°14’
20’’
Solution.
12⁰14’20” = 12⁰ + 14’ + 20”
= 12⁰ + 14’ (1°/60′) + 20”(1°/3600”)
= 12⁰ + (14/60)⁰+(20/3600) ⁰
= 12⁰ + 0.233⁰ + 0.0056 ⁰
= 12.24⁰
1. 25.50?
Solution.
25.50⁰ = 25⁰ + 0.50⁰. Converting 0.50⁰ to
= 25⁰ + 30’. minutes, we have
= 25⁰ 30’ 0.50 ⁰(60′/1°)= 30
2. 21.88°
Solution.
Now, recall that a unit circle is a circle with radius equal to 1 unit and with center at the
measure is equivalent to one radian (written as 1 𝑟𝑎𝑑). Radian measure is the ratio of
origin. If a central angle intercepts an arc of the unit circle with length of 1 unit, then its
the length of a circular arc to the radius of the arc. It is used as alternate units used to
measure angles in trigonometry. Radian measure allows us to treat the trigonometric
functions as functions with the set of real numbers as domains, rather than angles.
Example 2.
Refer to the figure below. Determine the terminal side of an angle in standard
position with the given measure.
