2 Ray & Vertex A ray ( or half-line) is that portion of a line that starts at a point V on the line and extends indefinitely in one direction. The starting point V of the ray is called its vertex. V Ray Line 29 September Kidoguchi, Kenneth

3 Angle, Initial & Terminal Side, Positive & Negative Angles An angle is formed by two rays that share a common vertex. The angle is formed by rotating from the initial side to the terminal side. If the rotation is counterclockwise, the angle is positive. If the rotation is clockwise, the angle is negative. β γ V α Initial Side V Initial Side V Initial Side Positive Angle, α Negative Angle, β Positive Angle, γ N.B.: α β γ but α, β and γ are said to be co-terminal! 29 September Kidoguchi, Kenneth

4 Angle, Initial & Terminal Side, Positive & Negative Angles Definition from Supplemental Packet: The reference angle for an angle in standard position is the positive acute angle formed by the horizontal axis and the terminal side of the angle. β γ V α Initial Side α V Initial Side V Initial Side α Reference Angle, α Reference Angle, α Reference Angle, α N.B.: α β γ but α, β and γ are said to be co-terminal! 29 September Kidoguchi, Kenneth

13 Angles in Radians A central angle is a positive angle whose vertex is at the centre of a circle of radius r. The rays of a central angle subtend (intersect) an arc on the circle. If the arc length is s, then the angle in radians is: arc length θ = = radius If the arc length is s = r, then θ = 1 radian. s r 29 September Kidoguchi, Kenneth

14 2: The Length of an Arc of a Circle s = rθ 3 3 θ (r, 0) Initial Side θ s = rθ s = rθ 1 1 Angle in radians: arc length s θ = = radius r 2πr 1 revolution = = 2π r N.B.: An angle in radians is length over length, hence a dimensionless quantity. For a circle of radius r, a central angle θ in radians subtends an arc of length s such that: s = r θ 29 September Kidoguchi, Kenneth
