Subject Code Mathematics 4

Module Code 11.0 (Trigonometric Functions)

Lesson Code 11.1.2 (Angle Measures Part 2)
Time Limit 30 minutes

In the first part of this lesson, you have learned that angles can be measured either in degrees or in
radians, and how to convert angle measures in degrees to radians and vice versa.

The Special Angles in Degrees and in Radians (Time allotment: 15 minutes)

This is a non-graded activity.

Shown in Figure 6 is the unit circle indicating some special angles in standard position given their
measures in degrees and in radians. Complete the labels by filling out the correct degree and radian
measures of each special angle.

Lesson Summary (Time allotment: 3 minutes)

• An angle is the union of two rays with a common endpoint. The two rays are called the sides of
the angle and the common endpoint is called the vertex.
• An angle is positive if the terminal side rotates in a clockwise direction, and negative when it
rotates in a clockwise direction.
• An angle is said to be in standard position when its vertex is at the origin and its initial side lies
along the positive x−axis.
• Angles are commonly measured in degrees. A full circle measures 360°.
• A central angle measures one radian when the length of its intercepted arc is equal to the radius.
• To convert degrees to radians and vice versa, we can use the following conversion formulas:
π
1. To convert degrees to radians, multiply by .
180◦◦
180
2. To convert radians to degrees, multiply by .
π
