ANGLES IN A UNIT CIRCLE
Objectives:
(1) illustrate the unit circle and the relationship between the linear and
angular

measures of arcs in a unit circle.

(2) convert degree measure to radian measure, and vice versa.

(3) illustrate angles in standard position and co-terminal angles.

The Unit Circle

Consider a circle whose center is at (0,0). The circle of radius 1 (one) with center at
origin is called the unit circle. Every point on the unit circle satisfies the equation

x2 + y2 = 1.

(0,1)

P(x,y)

r=1 s=Ɵ

(-1,0) (1,0) x - axis

(0,-1)

Examples:

Determine whether each point lie on the unit circle.

ANGLE MEASURE

Ray - line extending from point

Initial side - initial position of the ray

Terminal side - the position of the ray at the end of its rotation

Vertex - endpoint of the ray

O Vertex initial side A

Negative angle

terminal side positive angle

O initial side A

Initial side of ∠ AOB is OA

Terminal side OB

Positive angle - counterclockwise

Negative angle - clockwise

ANGLES in STANDARD POSITION

An angle whose vertex lies at the origin of the rectangular coordinate system and whose
initial side is positive along the positive x-axis is said to be in standard position.

CENTRAL ANGLE

A central angle of a circle measures one degree, written 1o, if it intercepts 1/360 of the
circumference of the circle.

One degree is written 10; one minute is written 1’; one second 1”

Conversion:

1o = 60’ minutes; 1’ minute = 60” seconds; 360o = 1 revolution

1” = 1/60o 1” = 1/60’
Examples:

1. Convert 10o 30’ 18” to the nearest degree.

= 10o {30’ + 18”(1’/60”)}

= 10o 30.3’ {10+(30.3’)(1o/60’)}o

= 10.505o

2. Convert 79.251o to the nearest second.

79.251o = 79o(0.251 * 60)’ 790 15.06’

= 79o 15’ (0.06 * 60)”

= 79o 15’ 3.6”

Example: Identify the terminal side of an angle in standard position with given measure.

D E

A central angle of the unit circle that intercepts an arc of the circle with length 1 unit is
said to have a measures of one radian, written 1 rad.

1 radian ≈ 57.3o

Converting degree to radian, and vice versa: 180o = π rad; 360o = 2π rad

180 π

ARC LENGTH and AREA of SECTOR 1. Find the area of a sector of a circle with
central angle 60o and radius 3m.

2. A sprinkler on a golf course fairway is


ϴ s
set to spray water over a distance of 70 ft
and rotates through an angle of 120o. Find
the area of the fairway watered by the
sprinkler.
C = 2πr
3. Find the length of an arc intercepted by
S = rϴ; ϴ in radian a central angle with radius 10 m that
1 2 subtends a central angle of 30o.

the measure of ϴ in degrees, radians.
