 An angle is a rotation of a ray from

an initial side to a terminal side.
 When naming an angle: C•
 The middle letter is always the
vertex.
vertex

•B
 The first letter is one point on one
of the rays.
 The last letter is one point on the Name the angle:
other ray. ∠ CAB or ∠ A
 Trigonometry focuses on
relationships of sides and angles
of a triangle
 Angles are formed by an initial
side and a terminal side. An initial
side is said to be in standard
position when it’s vertex is located
at the origin and the ray goes
along the positive x axis.
 An angle is measured by the
amount of rotation from the
initial side to the terminal side.
 A positive angle is made by a
rotation in the
counterclockwise direction
and a negative angle is made
by a rotation in the clockwise
direction.
 Angles are
measured using
units called
degrees.
 The symbol for
degree is a small
raised zero (°). 45°

 We use a vertex
protractor to
measure angles.

 We use a vertex

measure angles.
 Angles are
congruent if they
are the same
degree measure.
 This can be
written,
∠A ≅ ∠B.
 The
measurement
may be converted
to radians, so that

vertex
(45) 1° = (45)(π/180) rad
45° = π/4 rad
Convert 75° to radian

1° = (π/180) rad
(75) 1° = (75)(π/180) rad
75° = 5π/12 rad
1. Convert the following angle measurements:
a. 10°, -300°, −45° to radians

1. Convert the following angle measurements:
a. 10°, -300°, −45° to radians
b. π/5, −3π/4 , 5π/12 to degrees

1° = (π/180) rad 1° = (π/180) rad

(10) 1° = (10)(π/180) rad (-300) 1° = (-300)(π/180) rad
10 ° = π/18 rad -300 ° = -5π/3 rad

360°, which is called
one revolution

 Coterminal angles: are
angles in standard position
(angles with the initial side
on the positive x-axis) that
have a common terminal
side.
 For example, the angles
45°, –315° and 405° are all
coterminal
Acute Angle: Obtuse Angle:

Angles less than 90° are Angles greater than 90° are
called Acute Angles. called Obtuse Angles.

Right Angle: Straight Angle:

Symbol for right angle
180°

Angles equal to 90° are Angles equal to 180° are

called Right Angles. called Straight Angles.
 Reflex Angle - an angle
greater than 180° and less
than 360°
 When an angle is drawn on
the coordinate plane with a
vertex at the origin, the
reference angle is the
angle between the terminal
side of the angle and the x-
axis. The reference angle
is always between 0 and
2π radians (or between 0
and 90 degrees)
 When one does a basic house repair like: siding,
flooring ceiling, he has to know basic geometry. This
requires angle measurement.
 Angles and triangles is used in farming, surveying of
property, engineering, etc.
 Carpenters use angle measurement to make chairs,
and other furniture.
 Engineers and architects use angles in designing
buildings, bridges, roads, and other structures
 One can measure the height of an object, distance
between objects, etc. by making use of
a) similar triangles (triangles with congruent corresponding
angles and corresponding sides are proportional)
b) Pythagorean Theorem:

(Hypotenuse)2 = (Side1)2 + (Side2)2

c) Law of sine
d) Law of cosine.
 A triangle is a polygon with three edges and three vertices. It
is one of the basic shapes in geometry. A triangle with vertices
A, B, and C is denoted triangle ABC (⧊ABC).

[Link] Classification by Length Side.
1. One angle is a right angle and the other two are acute angles.
2. The longest side is the hypotenuse and is opposite the right
angle.
3. The area is half product of the opposite and adjacent sides.

A = ½ (adjacent x opposite)
4. The radius of the circumscribing circle is half the hypotenuse.
5. The center of the circumscribing circle is the midpoint of the
hypotenuse.

The hypotenuse of the triangle is

the diameter of its circumcircle,
and the circumcenter is its
midpoint, so the circumradius is
equal to half of the hypotenuse
of the right triangle.
6. Drop a perpendicular from the right angle on to the
hypotenuse and you have three similar triangles.
 6. Drop a perpendicular from the right angle on to the
hypotenuse and you have three similar triangles.

Their corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding

sides are in proportion. In other words, similar triangles are the same
shape, but not necessarily the same size.
 2. The right triangles ABC,
DEF are similar, with BC = 20
3 cm, AC = 4 cm, and AB =
5 cm. If EF = 12 cm, then
how long are DE and DF? 16

The side corresponding to BC has been multiplied by 4. Therefore,

since the triangles are similar, every side will be multiplied by 4.
DE will be 20 cm and DF will be 16 cm

 Reference Angle – one in which the given
angle makes with the x-axis. Regardless of
where the angle ends (that is, regardless of
the location of the terminal side of the angle).
 The reference angle measures the closest
distance of that terminal side to the x-axis.
 The angle with measure 30°.
 The angle is in the first
quadrant because 30° is
between 0° and 90°. The
reference angle, shown by
the curved purple line, is the
same as the given angle.
 The angle 150°, obviously, is
not the same as the angle
30°; it's bigger, and its
terminal side is in the second
quadrant (because 150° is
between 90° and 180°).
However, that terminal side is
only 30° from the negative x-
axis.
  The angle 210°.
 This angle's terminal side,
because 210° is between 180°
and 270°, is in the third
quadrant, and this side is
closest to the negative x-axis.
Because 210 is thirty more
than 180, then this angle's
terminal side is 30° past (that
is, below) the negative x-axis.

 A reference triangle is formed
by "dropping" a perpendicular
from the terminal ray of a
standard position angle to the x-
axis. Remember, it must be
drawn to the x-axis.
 Reference triangles are used to
find trigonometric values for
their standard position angles.
They are of particular
importance for standard position
angles whose terminal sides
reside in quadrants II, III and IV.
Remember that a reference
triangle will contain the
reference angle.
 The angle is normally called θ

called side x, opposite side as
r
side y, and the hypotenuse as opposite side
y
side r.

The unit circle will be helpful to us later
when we define the trigonometric ratios.
An ordered pair along the unit circle (x, y)
can also be known as (cos , sin ), since
the r value on the unit circle is always 1. So
to find the trig function values for 45° you
can look on the unit circle and easily see
that

easily find the values of the
reciprocal functions

cotangent function values using
the quotient identities
