Chapter 4 Vocabulary
Section 4.1 vocabulary
An angle is
determined by a
rotating ray
(half-line) about
its endpoint.
The starting point
of the ray is the
initial side of
the angle.
The position of the
ray after the
rotation is the
terminal side of
the angle.
The endpoint of
the ray is the
vertex of the
angle.
When an angle fits a
coordinate system in which
the origin is the vertex of
the angle, and the initial
side coincides with the
positive x-axis that angle is
in standard position.
Positive angles
are generated by
counterclockwise
rotation.
Negative angles
are generated by
a clockwise
rotation.
Two angles that have
the same initial and
terminal sides are
called coterminal
angles.
The measure of an
angle is determined
by the amount of
rotation from the
initial side to the
terminal side.
A central angle is
an angle whose
vertex is the
center of the
circle.
One radian is the measure
of a central angle Ѳ that
intercepts an arc s equal in
length to the radius r of the
circle.
Ѳ = s / r , where Ѳ is
measured in radians
Angles between
0 and ∏ / 2 are
called acute
angles.
Angles between
∏/2 and ∏ are
called obtuse
angles.
A way to measure angles
is in degrees where 1
degree is equivalent to a
rotation of 1/360 of a
complete revolution
about the vertex.
Complementary
angles add to be
90 degrees
or∏/2.
Supplementary
angles sum to
equal 180
degrees or ∏.
Linear speed
Linear speed = Arc length / time
Angular speed
Angular speed = central angle/ time

• A function f is periodic if there
exists a positive real number c
such that :
f(t + c) = f(t)
For all t in the domain of f.
The least number c for which f is
periodic is called the period of
f.
