Notation Variables for angles

Frequently Greek letters a (alpha) b (beta) g (gamma) Q (theta)

3

Definitions Initial side

Point of origin for measuring a given angle Typically 0˚ (360˚)

Terminal Side Ending point for measuring a given angle Can be any size

4

Measurement Clockwise (CW)

Negative Angle Counter-Clockwise (CCW)

Positive Angle

Measurement (Cont.) Degrees

May be in decimal form (72.64˚) May be in Degrees/Minutes/Seconds (25˚

43’ 37”) Minutes ( ’ ) 60’ = 1˚ Seconds ( ” ) 60” = 1’

90˚ = 89˚ 59’ 60”

6

Measurement (Cont.) Radians

Similar to degrees Always measured in terms of pi (π)

360˚/0˚ = 2π 90˚ = π/2 180˚ = π 270˚ = 3 π/2

7

Coterminal Angles Have the same initial and terminal sides

8

Finding Coterminal Angles Add multiples of 360˚ Subtract Multiples of 360˚Example: Find 4 coterminal angles of 60˚60˚ + 360˚ = 420˚ 60˚ + 720˚ =

780˚60˚ – 360˚ = -300˚ 60˚ – 720˚ = -

660˚

Answer: 420˚, 780˚, -300˚, -660˚

9

Defining Angles Right Angles measure 90˚

10

Finding Complimentary Angles

For degrees: = 90˚ - Qor = 89˚ 59’ 60” – Q

Example: Find the angle complementary to 73.26˚

11

Finding Complementary AnglesExample 2: Find the angle that is

complementary to 25˚ 43’ 37”.

12

Finding Complementary Angles For Radians

= π/2 – QExample: Find the complementary angle of

π/4 radians.

Finding Supplementary Angles For degrees

= 180˚ - Q For radians

= π - Q
