Coterminal Angles
Two angles in standard position that have a common terminal side are
called coterminal angles. Observe that the degree measures of coterminal angles
differ by multiples of 3600 .
Two angles are coterminal if and only if their degree measures differ by 360𝑘,
where 𝑘 ∈ 𝑍.
Similarly, two angles are coterminal if and only if their radian measures differ by
2𝜋𝑘, where 𝑘 ∈ 𝑍.
As a quick illustration, to find one coterminal angle with an angle
that measures 4100 , just subtract 3600 , resulting in 500 .
Examples:
Find the angle coterminal with −3800 that has measure
a. Between 00 and 3600 ,
b. between −3600 and 00 .

There is a complete revolution when the length 𝑟 ran all through and
reached a point where the initial and terminal sides are in the same position after
rotating in a counterclockwise (positive) or clockwise (positive) direction. Thus,
1 𝑟𝑒𝑣 = 𝑟𝜃 or simply, 1 𝑟𝑒𝑣 = 𝑠.
UNIT CIRCLE
A unit circle is a circle with center at the origin (0,0) and radius
1 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡 . Taking the points that lie in the x and y axes in a
counterclockwise direction, we have, (1,0) (0,1) (−1,0) (0, −1).
A central angle of the unit circle that intercepts an arc of the
circle with length 1 unit is said to have a measure of one radian,
written 1 rad. These lines forming an angle are congruent with exact
measure of 1 unit.
