Understanding Standard Position Angles

An angle is in standard position if its vertex is at the origin and one ray lies on the positive x-axis, called the initial side. The other ray is the terminal side. If the terminal side lies on one of the axes, it is a quadrantal angle. The angle shown is in Quadrant II. The angle is measured by the amount of rotation from the initial side to the terminal side, with a counterclockwise rotation being positive and a clockwise one negative. Angles with the same terminal side are called coterminal angles.

Standard Position: An angle is in standard position


if its vertex is located at the origin and one ray is on
the positive x-axis. The ray on the x-axis is called
the initial side and the other ray is called the
terminal side. If the terminal side of an angle lies
"on" the axes (such as 0º, 90º, 180º, 270º, 360º ), it
is called a quadrantal angle. The angle shown at the
right is referred to as a Quadrant II angle since its
terminal side lies in Quadrant II.

The angle is measured by the amount of rotation


from the initial side to the terminal side. If
measured in a counterclockwise direction the
measurement is positive. If measured in a
clockwise direction the measurement is
negative. (A negative associated with an angle's
measure refers to its "direction" of measurement,
clockwise.)
If two angles in standard position have the same
terminal side, they are called coterminal angles.
