Section 7-1 Measurement of
Angles
• Objective:
1. To find the measure of an angle in either
degrees or radians.
2. To find coterminal angles.
Common Terms
• Initial ray is the ray that an angle starts
from.
• Terminal ray is the ray that an angle ends
on.
• Vertex
Common Terms
• A revolution is one complete circular
motion.

The angle is measure counter clockwise.
The terminal ray can be in any of the
quadrants.

Units of angle measurement
•
There are two ways to measure an angle:
Degrees
&
Radians
Units of angle measurement
• There are two ways to measure an angle:
Degree: 1/360th of a circle. That is the
measure one sees on a protractor and
most people are familiar with.
Angles can be further split into 60
minutes per degree and 60 seconds per
minute.
Quadrantal Angle
• If the terminal ray of an angle in standard
position lies along an axis the angle is
called a quadrantal angle.
• The measure of a quadrantal angle is
𝜋
always a multiple of 90°, or
2
Quadrantal angles
Standard Position
• When an angle is shown in a
coordinate plane, it usually
appears in standard position,
with its vertex at the origin and its
initial ray along the positive xaxis.
Degrees
On one of the circles provided measure 1°
Radian Measure
• Use the string provided to
measure the radius.
• Start on the “x-axis” and use the
string to measure an arc the
same length on the circle.
• The angle created is one radian.
Angle θ is
one radian
Units of angle measurement
Radian: when the arc of
circle has the same
length as the radius of
the circle. Angle a
measures 1 radian.

approximations
• 1 radian ~ 57.2958 degrees
• 1 degree ~ 0.0174533 radians*
• *note: the radian measure is usually stated
as a fraction of .

Warm up
• While I check your UC, work on the following:
a) Display the measure of one radian on circle.
Display the measure of two radians on a cirlce.
b) Describe what one radian is in terms of the
radius of a circle r.
c) Draw a circle and identify a central angle.
Describe relationship between central angle
and the intercepting arc.

Coterminal angles
• Two angles in standard position are called
coterminal angles if they have the same
terminal ray.
• For any given angle there infinitely many
coterminal angles.
Example
• Find two angles, one positive and one
negative, that are coterminal with the angle
52°. Sketch all three angles
Solution
• 52 + 360 = 412
• 52 + 360 × 2 = 772
• 52 + 360 × 3 = 1132
• 52 − 360 = −308
• 52 − 360 × 2 = −668
• 52 − 360 × 3 = −1028
