C A è Initial Side Terminal Side B Vertex Angles An angle is formed by two rays that have a common endpoint called the vertex. One ray is called the initial side and the other the terminal side. The arrow near the vertex shows the direction and the amount of rotation from the initial side to the terminal side.
y y is positive Terminal Side Vertex Initial Side x x Vertex Terminal Side Initial Side is negative Positive angles rotate counterclockwise. Negative angles rotate clockwise. Angles of the Rectangular Coordinate System • An angle is in standard position if • its vertex is at the origin of a rectangular coordinate system and • its initial side lies along the positive x-axis.
180º 90º Acute angle 0º < < 90º Right angle 1/4 rotation Obtuse angle 90º < < 180º Straight angle 1/2 rotation Measuring Angles Using Degrees The figures below show angles classified by their degree measurement. An acute angle measures less than 90º. A right angle, one quarter of a complete rotation, measures 90º and can be identified by a small square at the vertex. An obtuse angle measures more than 90º but less than 180º. A straight angle has measure 180º.
An angle of xº is coterminal with angles of xº+ k· 360º where k is an integer. Coterminal Angles
Example Assume the following angles are in standard position. Find a positive angle less than 360º that is coterminal with: a. a 420º angle b. a –120º angle. Solution We obtain the coterminal angle by adding or subtracting 360º. Our need to obtain a positive angle less than 360º determines whether we should add or subtract. a. For a 420º angle, subtract 360º to find a positive coterminal angle. 420º – 360º = 60º A 60º angle is coterminal with a 420º angle. These angles, shown on the next slide, have the same initial and terminal sides.
y y 240º 60º x x 420º -120º Example cont. Solution b. For a –120º angle, add 360º to find a positive coterminal angle. -120º + 360º = 240º A 240º angle is coterminal with a –120º angle. These angles have the same initial and terminal sides.
Example • Find and graph positive and negative coterminal angle for 175 degrees. 535 degrees -185 degrees
Finding Complements and Supplements • For an xº angle, the complement is a 90º – xºangle. Thus, the complement’s measure is found by subtracting the angle’s measure from 90º. • For an xº angle, the supplement is a 180º – xºangle. Thus, the supplement’s measure is found by subtracting the angle’s measure from 180º.
Definition of a Radian • One radian is the measure of the central angle of a circle that intercepts an arc equal in length to the radius of the circle.
Consider an arc of length s on a circle or radius r. The measure of the central angle that intercepts the arc is = s/r radians. s r O r Radian Measure
Conversion between Degrees and Radians • Using the basic relationship radians = 180º, • To convert degrees to radians, multiply degrees by ( radians) / 180 • To convert radians to degrees, multiply radians by 180 / ( radians)
Convert each angle in degrees to radians 40º 75º -160º Example
Example cont. Solution: • 40º = 40*/180 = 2 /9 • 75º = 75* /180 = 5 /12 • -160º = -160* /180 = -8 /9
Convert to degrees 180 degrees 45 degrees 216 degrees 105 degrees
Let r be the radius of a circle and the non- negative radian measure of a central angle of the circle. The length of the arc intercepted by the central angle is s = r s O r Length of a Circular Arc
A circle has a radius of 7 inches. Find the length of the arc intercepted by a central angle of 2/3 Solution: s = (7 inches)*(2 /3) =14 /3 inches Example
A clock has a minute hand that is 3 inches long. Find the distance the tip traveled in 10 minutes.
If a point is in motion on a circle of radius r through an angle of radians in time t, then its linear speed is v = s/t where s is the arc length given by s = r, and its angular speed is = /t Definitions of Linear and Angular Speed
Example • A wind machine used to generate electricity has blades that are 10 feet in length. The propeller is rotating at 4 revolutions per second. Find the linear speed, in feet per second, of the tips of the blades. First we find angular speed. The angle is 2pi and it does 4 revolutions in 1 sec. Next we find linear speed by multiplying angular speed times radius
