Sullivan Algebra and
Trigonometry: Section 7.1
Angles and Their Measures
Objectives of this Section
• Convert Between Degrees, Minutes, Seconds, and Decimal
Forms for Angles
• Convert From Degrees to Radians, Radians to Degrees
• Find the Arc Length of a Circle
•Find the Area of a Sector of a Circle
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 a ray is called its
vertex.
V Ray
If two lines are drawn with a common
vertex, they form an angle. One of the
rays of an angle is called the initial side
and the other the terminal side.

Counterclockwise rotation Positive Angle
An angle is said to be in standard position
if its vertex is at the origin of a rectangular
coordinate system and its initial side
coincides with with positive x - axis.

Vertex Initial side x
When an angle is in standard position, the
terminal side either will lie in a quadrant, in
which case we say lies in that quadrant,
or it will lie on the x-axis or the y-axis, in
which case we say is a quadrantal angle.

Angles are commonly measured in either
Degrees or Radians
The angle formed by rotating the initial side
exactly once in the counterclockwise direction
until it coincides with itself (1 revolution) is
said to measure 360 degrees, abbreviated 360 .

Consider a circle of radius r. Construct an
angle whose vertex is at the center of this
circle, called the central angle, and whose rays
subtend an arc on the circle whose length is r.
The measure of such an angle is 1 radian.

For a circle of radius r, a central angle of
radians subtends an arc whose length s is
s r
Find the length of the arc of a circle of radius
4 meters subtended by a central angle of 2
radians.
r 4 meters and = 2 radians
