Name: Pre-calculus Notes: Chapter 5 The Trigonometric Functions Section 1 Angles and Degree Measure Use the word bank below to fill in the blanks below. You may use each term only once. degree vertex negative angle terminal side positive angle initial side standard position An angle may be generated by rotating one of two rays that share a fixed endpoint known as a. One of the rays is fixed to form the of the angle, and the second ray rotates to form the. If the rotation is in a counterclockwise direction, the angle formed is a If the rotation is clockwise, it is a. An angle with its vertex at the origin and its initial side along the positive x-axis is said to be in. In the figures below, all the angles are in standard position. The most common unit used to measure angles is the. In order to obtain a more accurate angle measure, Babylonians also measured angles in minutes and seconds. A degree is subdivided into 60 equal parts known as minutes (1 ), and the minute is subdivided into 60 equal parts know as seconds (1 ). Change the angle measure to degrees, minutes, and seconds. a. 15.735 o b. 329.125 o 1
Example 2 Rewrite as a decimal rounded to the nearest thousandth. a. 39 o 5 34 b. 35 o 12 7 If the terminal side of an angle that is in standard position coincides with one of the axes, the angle is called a quadrantal angle, as in the figures below. A full rotation around a circle is 360 0. Measures of more than 360 0 represent multiple rotations. Example 3 Give the angle measure represented by each rotation. a. 9.5 rotations clockwise b. 6.75 rotations counterclockwise 2
