Angle- formed by rotating a ray about its endpoint (vertex)

Initial Side Starting position

Terminal Side Ending position

Standard PositionInitial side on positive x-axis and the vertex is on the origin

Angle describes the amount and direction of rotation

120° –210°

Positive Angle- rotates counter-clockwise (CCW)

Negative Angle- rotates clockwise (CW)

1 Radian = measure of central angle, , that intercepts the arc that has the same length as the radius of the circle

Length BC on AB = 4.31 cm

m AB = 4.31 cm

Arc length “s” = radius when = 1 radian

Therefore, we can say that 1 full revolution = 2 radians.

So, you think you got it now?

1 degree = 60 minutes

1° = 60

1 minute = 60 seconds

1 = 60

So … 1 degree = _________seconds
