Radian Measure and Coterminal Angles

The Unit Circle – An Introduction l l Circle with radius of 1 1 Revolution = 360° l l l 2 Revolutions = 720° Positive angles move counterclockwise around the circle Negative angles move clockwise around the circle

Radian Measure l l l 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

Radian Measure, cont.

Converting Between Degrees and Radians To convert degrees To convert radians to radians, multiply to degrees, multiply by by

Your Turn:

Experiment Graph and do you notice? on the axes below. What

Coterminal Angles co – terminal with, joint, or together l ending Coterminal Angles – angles that end at the same spot

Coterminal Angles, cont. l l Each positive angle has a negative coterminal angle Each negative angle has a positive coterminal angle

Coterminal Angles, cont.

Solving for Coterminal Angles If the angle is less greater than 2 pi, than 0, add 2 pi to subtract 2 pi from the given angle. l You may need to add or subtract 2 pi more than once!!!

Solving for Coterminal Angles l Trick: Add or subtract the coefficients of pi rather than the entire radian measure

Examples: Find a coterminal angle between 0 and 2 pi
