A. Readings/Discussions

ANGLE MEASURE

On a coordinate plane, an angle may be generated by the rotation of two rays that
share a fixed endpoint at the origin. One ray, called the initial side of the angle, is fixed
along the positive 𝑥 −axis. The other ray, called the terminal side of the angle, can rotate
about the center.

Angles in Trigonometry differ from angles in Euclidean geometry in the sense of

motion.

An angle in Geometry is defined as a union of rays that is static and has measure
between 0° and 180° .

And angle in Trigonometry is a rotation of a ray and, therefore, has no limit. It has
positive and negative directions and measures.

1
 The measure of an angle is determined by the amount and directions of rotation from
the initial side to the terminal side.

When the terminal sides rotate, they may sometimes make one or more revolutions.
An angle whose terminal side has made exactly one revolution has a measure of 360° .

ANGLE IN STANDARD POSITION

An angle positioned so that its vertex is at the origin and its initial side is along the
positive 𝑥 −axis is said to be in standard position. The angles �, �, and 𝜃 in the following
figure are angles in standard position.

2
EXAMPLES: In the following figure, identify the terminal side of an angle in standard position
with given measure.

1. degree measure of 135°

Answer: ∠�𝑂� measures 135° . So, the terminal side of ∠�𝑂� is ⃗𝑂⃗⃗⃗�⃗ .

2. degree measure of −90°

⃗⃗⃗⃗�⃗ .
Answer: ∠�𝑂� measures −90° . So, the terminal side of ∠�𝑂� is 𝑂

3. degree measure of 405°

Answer: ∠�𝑂� measures 360° + 45° = 405° . So, the terminal side of ∠�𝑂� is ⃗𝑂⃗⃗⃗�⃗
.

Did you know that aside from degree measures, angles can also be measured using
radian measures? The definition of a radian is based on the concept of a unit circle.

UNIT CIRCLE

A unit circle is a circle of radius 1 whose center is at the origin of a coordinate

system. One radian is the measure of an angle 𝜃 in standard position whose rays intercept
an arc of length 1 unit on the unit circle.

3
 The circumference of any circle is 2𝜋��, where 𝑟 is the radius measure. So,
the circumference of a unit circle is 2��(1) = 2𝜋 units. Therefore, an angle representing
one complete revolution of the circle measures 2𝜋 radians. This same angle measures
360° . Therefore, the following equation is true.

2𝜋 radians = 360°

In Trigonometry, as it was studied in Grade 9, the degree measure is often used. On

the other hand, in some fields of mathematics like calculus, radian measure of angles is
preferred. Radian measure allows us to treat the trigonometric functions as functions with
the set of real numbers as domains, rather than angles.

RADIAN AND DEGREE MEASURES

❖ To convert a radian measure in degrees, multiply the number of radians by

180° 180
or
𝜋 radians 𝜋

❖ To convert a degree measure in radians, multiply the number of degrees by

𝜋 radians 𝜋
or
180° 180

EXAMPLES: Express the degree measures in radians and the radian measures in degrees.

GUIDE

For the Teacher

Department of Education, as one of the significant stakeholders of learning, researched and explored
innovative ways on how to address the learners’ need of education amidst today’s circumstance. DepEd initiated
the making of Alternative Delivery Mode of teaching using teacher–made self–learning home tasks.

For the Learner

The key to successfully finish this self–learning home task lies in the learners’ hands. This self–learning
home task is especially crafted for the learners to grasp the opportunity to continue learning diligently, intelligently,
and independently even at home. Learners are expected to meet the Most Essential Learning Competencies
(MELCs) specified in each self–
learning home task.
Here are some rules for the learners to follow in accomplishing the self–learning home
tasks.

1. The learners should schedule and manage their time to read and understand every part of the self–
learning home tasks.

2. The learners should study how they can manage to do the activities of this subject in consideration of
their other self–learning home tasks from other subjects.

3. The learners should finish one task at hand before proceeding to the next.

4. This self–learning home tasks is organized according to the learners’ level of understanding.
Skipping one part may lead them to confusion and misinterpretation.

5. If learners do not understand the activities and other tasks, they should re-read and engage all possible
resources. They may ask other family members to help them.

6. Learners should not procrastinate.

7. Learners are free to browse and read other different materials.

8. Learners should not copy their classmates’ answers through asking their answers
online. In this independent type of learning, honesty is always the best policy.
9. Lastly, learners should do the self–learning home tasks on their own. Family members and friends at home
may support the learners but the activities must be done by themselves.

For the Parent/Home Tutor

The role of the facilitator is to support, help, and guide the learners in accomplishing all the tasks in all
self–learning home tasks. This is a Precalculus subject, one of the specialized subjects in the STEM strand, which
demands a lot of time and effort for the learners to study. Boosting the learners’ focus and determination will really
help them complete the self–learning home tasks. Facilitators are anticipated to persuade learners to comply and to
finish the self–learning home tasks on or before the scheduled time.
