LEARNING OUTCOMES

AT THE END OF THIS SECTION, STUDENTS SHOULD BE

ABLE TO:
Illustrate angles in standard position;
Illustrate the relationship between the linear and
angular measure of a central angle in a circle;
Convert angle’s degree measure to radian and vice
versa; and
Determine angles co-terminal to a given angle.
RECALL

• DEFINITION OF AN ANGLE
-the space (usually measured in degrees) between two
intersecting lines or surfaces at or close to the point where
they meet.

• DEGREE MEASURE OF AN ANGLE

-a unit of measure is used to measure the magnitude of an
angle. 1 degree is equals to 1/360 of a complete revolution in
magnitude.

•An angle, ∠𝑨𝑩𝑪 consists of two

rays with common endpoint.

RADIAN MEASURE

•A radian (1 rad) is the measure of the

central angle subtended by an arc of a
circle whose length is equal to the
radius of the circle.
