What are the basic terms? (cont.)

Angle-formed by rotating a
ray around its endpoint.

The ray in its initial
position is called the initial
side of the angle.

The ray in its location after
the rotation is the terminal
side of the angle.

How to Identify a Positive Angle and a
Negative Angle?

Positive angle: The
rotation of the terminal
side of an angle
counterclockwise.
Rev.S08

Negative angle: The
rotation of the terminal
side is clockwise.

Most Common unit and Types of Angles


The most common unit for measuring angles is
the degree.
The major types of angles are acute angle, right
angle, obtuse angle and straight angle.

What are Complementary Angles?

When the two angles form a right
angle, they are complementary
angles. Thus, we can find the
measure of each angle in this
case.
k +20
k  16
The two angles have measures of
43 + 20 = 63 and 43  16 = 27

What are Supplementary Angles?

When the two angles form a straight
angle, they are supplementary
angles. Thus, we can find the measure of
each angle in this case too.
6x + 7
3x + 2
These angle measures are
6(19) + 7 = 121 and 3(19) + 2 = 59

How to Determine an Angle is
in Standard Position?

An angle is in standard position if its vertex is
at the origin and its initial side is along the
positive x-axis.

What are Quadrantal Angles?

Angles in standard position having their terminal
sides along the x-axis or y-axis, such as angles
with measures 90, 180, 270, and so on, are
called quadrantal angles.

15
What are Coterminal Angles?

A complete rotation of a ray results in an angle
measuring 360. By continuing the rotation,
angles of measure larger than 360 can be
produced. Such angles are called coterminal
angles.

cast by a mailbox 3 feet
high is 4 m long. Find the
height of the lighthouse.
