ANGLES: Degrees and Radians
Whats an angle ?
An angle is made from two rays with a common initial
point.









In standard position the initial side is on the x axis

Definition of a Radian
Radian is the measure of the arc of a unit circle.
Unit circle is a circle with a radius of 1.


The quadrants in terms of Radians
What is the circumference of a circle with radius
1?
The answer is .. t 2

Angles with the same initial side and terminal side
are coterminal.

|
Coterminal:Two angles are coterminal if they are
drawn in the standard position and both have their
terminal sides in the same location
The quadrants in terms of Radians
The circumference can be cut into parts. 4 to be
exact.

How to use radian to find Arc length

The geometry way was to find the circumference
of the circle and multiply by the fraction. Central

When we are trying to find a side
we use sin, cos, or tan.
When we are trying to find an

A circle with center at (0, 0) and radius 1 is called a unit circle.
The equation of this circle would be
1
2 2
= + y x
So points on this circle must satisfy this equation.
