4.1: Radian and Degree Measure
Objectives:•To use radian measure of an angle•To convert angle measures back and forth between radians and degrees•To find coterminal angle
We are going to look at angles on the coordinate plane… An angle is determined by rotating a ray about its
endpoint Starting position: Initial side (does not move) Ending position: Terminal side (side that rotates) Standard Position: vertex at the origin; initial side
coincides with the positive x-axis Positive Angle: rotates counterclockwise (CCW) Negative Angle: rotates clockwise (CW)
Positive Angles
Negative Angle
1 complete rotation: 360⁰Angles are labeled with Greek letters: α (alpha), β (beta), and θ (theta)Angles that have the same initial and terminal
sides are called coterminal angles
RADIAN MEASURE (just another unit of measure!)
Two ways to measure an angle: radians and degrees For radians, use the central angle of a circle
s=rr
• s= arc length intercepted by angle• One radian is the measure of a
central angle, Ѳ, that intercepts an arc, s, equal to the length of the radius, r
• One complete rotation of a circle = 360°• Circumference of a circle: 2 r• The arc of a full circle = circumference
s= 2 rSince s= r, one full rotation in radians= 2 =360 °
, so just over 6 radians in a circle

You can find an angle that is coterminal to a given angle by adding or subtracting

Degree Measure
So………
Converting between degrees and radians:1. Degrees →radians: multiply degrees by
2. Radians → degrees: multiply radians by

θ
Side adjacent to θ
Side opposite θ
Using the lengths of these 3 sides, we form six ratios that define the six trigonometric functions of the acute angle θ.
