What’s In
• 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 a measure between 0° and
180°. An angle in trigonometry is a
rotation of a ray, and, therefore, has no
limit. It has positive and negative

Instruction: You will have a Hands-On activity to explore the relationship between
circumference and length of the radius. You will be given 20 points if you can perform
the activity properly and arrive at the expected result.
Materials needed: 1 whole sheet of bond paper (or any paper), compass, string,
protractor and a ruler.
STEP 2: Cut a piece of string with a length equal to the radius of the circle. Place
the string along the circle.
STEP 3: Mark points at each end to locate the endpoints of an arc equal in length to
the radius of a circle.
STEP 4: Draw rays from the center of the circle through the endpoints of the arc,
forming a central angle. Using a protractor, find the degree measure of
this central angle.

STEP 5: Repeat steps 1 – 4 two or three times, using a circle with a different
radius each time.

What Is It (Discussion)
Angular Measure
(Cited from the book of Stitz, C. et al, 2013)
There are types of angular measures: degrees (deg), radian (rad), and gradian
. (grad). We had the degrees which are very familiar to you during your Junior High
Mathematics and now we will have radians.
The circumference of a circle compared to the radius brings us to our new angle
measure, called radian. Radian is the standard unit used to measure angles in
Mathematics. One radian is the measure of a central angle of a circle that
intercepts an arc equal in length to the radius of that circle. It allows us to treat
the trigonometric functions as functions with the set of real numbers as domain,
rather than angles (Stitz, et. al 2013).

Figure 2: α has a radian measure 1, 2013 Figure 3: Precalculus Version [ π ]= 3 Corrected Edition by Stitz, 2013)
, year :
According to Stitz (2013) that getting a better feel for radian measure, we note that an angle
with radian measure means the responding arc length s equals the radius (r ) of the circle,
hence s = r . When the radian measure is 2, we have s = 2r; when the measure is 3, s = 3r,
and so forth. Thus, the radian measure of an angle θ tells us how many “radius
lengths” we need to sweep out along the circle to subtend the angle θ.
Since one revolution sweeps out the entire circumference 2π r, one revolution has radian
2π𝑟
measure = 2π, we divide the circumference by the length of the radius. From this, we
𝑟
can find the radian measure of other central angles. This is further related to the concept
of a unit circle.

What’s More
A. Instruction. In your Hands-On activity 1.1, found in What’s New, use the same
circles but this time paste along the whole circumference as many as cut string equal
to the length of its radius. As much as possible use two (2) different colors of string
and paste it alternately.

off by one radius length.
• Radian is the standard unit used to measure central angles in
Mathematics.
• One radian is the linear measure of a central angle of a circle that intercepts
an arc length equal to the radius of that circle. It is approximately equal to
57.3°.
• The unit circle is the circle of radius 1 centered at the origin in the xy-plane.
What’s In
Ferris wheel is an entertaining ride and will make you
ponder about how such a colossal moving structure
was built. To make 12 equidistant spokes, we needed
a consistent rule to follow. Therefore, we idealized the
unit circle and transformed the intervals in terms
of pi (π) and marked them on your sketch.

What Is It
Being able to convert degrees to radians is beneficial because radians are commonly used
in trigonometric functions, but most people are more familiar with degrees. It is easy to
convert between degree measurement to radian measurement since one revolution sweeps
2𝜋𝑟
out the entire circumference 2πr, one revolution has radian measure = 2𝜋, from this we
𝑟
can find the radian measure of other central angles (degrees form), so it follows that 360°
equals 2π radian.

But there are times that the given degree measure is in the degree/minute/second form (or
DMS mode). However, instead of using minutes and seconds, we shall usually convert them
to fractions of 1 degree. For instance, if the measure of an angle is 27° 13´ 30”. We define
the minutes and seconds as follows:
1
1 minute, written 1´, = of 1° or 1° = 60´
60
1
1 second, written 1´, = of 1´ or 1´ = 60" or 1° = 3600"
60
Example 2:
To convert 27° 13´ 30” to radian measure, first we must express it in degree
measure containing a portion of a decimal, we have:
Solution:
1° 1°
Step 1: 27° + 13´ ( ) + 30” ( ) (hint: all similar units are cancelled out)

Write the words in a separate sheet of paper. (Hints: words begin with
letters P, Q, T, A, I, M and C)
Materials needed: 1 whole sheet of bond paper, protractor, ruler, colored pens
STEP 1: Make an xy-plane and draw all the given angle measures below. Make
sure that one (initial side) of the rays of an angle always coincide with
the positive x-axis. Use different color of pens in each angle.

Note: 1) Positive angle measure rotates counterclockwise while negative rotates
clockwise. (Refer to previous module 1).
2) Initial side is a stationary ray of an angle and always coincide with the positive
x-axis while terminal side is the rotating ray of any angle.
What Is It (Discussion)
At this point, we also extend our allowable rotation to include angles which encompasses
.more than one revolution. For example, 450°, we start with an initial side, rotate
counterclockwise one complete revolution (to take care of the “first” 360°) then continue
with an additional 90°, as shown below:
13
According to Cabral, E (2010), an angle is said to be in standard position if its vertex is
the origin and its initial side coincides with the positive x-axis. And if the terminal side
of an angle lies on one of the coordinate axes, it is called a quadrantal angle. Two angles
in standard position are called coterminal if they share the same terminal side.
Another illustration of angles in their Standard Position, as shown in the figure 2 below:
Two angles in standard position are COTERMINAL if their sides coincide. In figure 2, the
angles in ( a ) and ( c ) are coterminal.
Some more illustrations of coterminal angles drawn in one xy-plane, as in figure 3 below:
α = 120°
β = − 240°
Examples of finding coterminal angles (positive and negative) both in degrees and radian.
a) Find angles that are coterminal with the angle ϴ = 30° in standard position.
𝜋
b) Find angles that are coterminal with the angle ϴ= in standard position.

14
Solutions:
a) To find positive angles that are coterminal with ϴ, we add any multiple of 360°or
ϴ ± 𝟑𝟔𝟎𝒌, where k stands for any integer except zero.
So, 390°, 750°, 1110° are one of the positive coterminal angles with ϴ = 30°
and there are infinite number of positive coterminal angles since k is any
integer except zero.
To find negative angles that are coterminal with ϴ, we subtract any multiple of
360°.
Therefore 30°, 390°, 750°, 1110°, − 330°, − 690°, − 1050° are coterminal angles.
There are more angle measures which are still coterminal with the six highlighted
angle measures above. Observe that the degree measure of coterminal angles
differ by multiples of 360°.
b) To find positive angles that are coterminal with ϴ, we add any multiple of 2π or
ϴ ± 𝟐𝛑𝒌, where k stands for any integer except zero.
𝜋 7𝜋
Thus, + 2π(1) = ,k=1
3 3
𝜋 13𝜋
+ 2π(2) = ,k=2
3 3
𝜋 19𝜋
+ 2π(3) = ,k=3
3 3
7𝜋 13𝜋 19𝜋
So, , , are one of the positive coterminal angles (radian form)
3 3 3
𝜋
with ϴ = and there are also infinite number of negative coterminal angles
3
since k is any integer except zero.
15
To find negative angles that are coterminal with ϴ, we subtract any multiple of 2π.
𝜋 5𝜋
Thus, − 𝟏(2𝜋) =− , k = −1
3 3
𝜋 11𝜋
− 𝟐(2𝜋) =− , k = −2
3 3
𝜋 17𝜋
− 𝟑(2𝜋) =− , k = −3
3 3
5𝜋 11𝜋 17𝜋
So, − , − , − are one of the negative coterminal angles (radian
3 3 3
𝜋
form with ϴ = and there are also in infinite number of negative
3
coterminal angles since k is any integer except zero.
Two angles are coterminal if and only if their degree measure differ
by 360k , where k ∈ Z and k is any integer except zero.
Similarly, two angles are coterminal if and only if their radian
measures differ by 2πk, k ∈ Z.
Note: Recall your Mathematics 7 for the meaning of the symbols, ∈ and Z (about SET)
Solutions:
A negative angle moves in a clockwise direction, the angle − 380° lies in QIV.
2) − 380° +1(360°) = −20° (coterminal with − 380° which is between − 360° and 0°)
