1 Radian and Degree Measure


Today we will learn the following topics:

 Terminology used to describe angles


 Degree measure of an angle
 Radian measure of an angle
 Converting between radian and degree measure

Standard Position

Vertex at origin

The initial side of an angle


in standard position is always located
on the positive x-axis.

Positive and negative angles

When sketching angles,


always use an arrow to
show direction.

Measuring Angles

The measure of an angle is determined by the amount of rotation from


the initial side to the terminal side.

There are two common ways to measure angles, in degrees and in


radians.

We’ll start with degrees, denoted by the symbol º.

One degree (1º) is equivalent to a rotation of of one revolution.

Classifying Angles

Angles are often classified according to the quadrant


in which their terminal sides lie.

Ex1: Name the quadrant in which each angle lies.

50º Quadrant 1

208º Quadrant 3 II I

-75º Quadrant 4 III IV

Radian Measure
A second way to measure angles is in radians.

 Another way of measuring angles
 Convenient because major measurements of a
circle (circumference, area, etc.) are involve pi
 Radians result in easier numbers to use
