01 4-1 The directed angle and its standard position

  • A directed angle is generated by a ray rotating about its endpoint from an initial side to a terminal side: counter-clockwise is positive, clockwise is negative.
  • The angle is in standard position when its vertex is at the origin and its initial side lies along the positive x-axis.
  • The quadrant of the angle is the quadrant in which its terminal side lies: 0–90° first, 90–180° second, 180–270° third, 270–360° fourth.
  • Angles whose sides are parallel to the axes (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°, 360°) are quadrantal and belong to no quadrant.

Coterminal angles and revolutions

  • Coterminal angles share the initial and terminal sides and differ by a multiple of 360°: θ + 360°k, k ∈ ℤ.
  • Half a turn = 180°, one turn = 360°, two and a quarter turns = 810°; add 360° for every full turn.
  • To name the angle from a figure: measure the rotation from the positive x-axis in the given direction, keeping the sign.
