so let's talk about angles what exactly

is an angle an angle is formed by two

rays that have a common endpoint and I

need to know what array is is a basic

geometry view this is a segment a

segment connects two points it has two

endpoints in this case a and B array has

one endpoint and the other side goes on

forever so that's a rate a line has no

endpoints a line extends forever

in both directions so when we're talking

about angles an angle is formed between

two rays and it has a common endpoint

which is right here this endpoint is

also known as the vertex of the angle

the first ray is known as the initial

side the second rate is known as the

terminal side and the angle which we can

call theta is measured from the initial

ring to the terminal ring now let's say

if we have a graph with the x axis and

the y axis an angle is said to be in its

standard position if the vertex is at

the origin so that's the common endpoint

and the initial side where the initial

ray is on the x axis now it's a terminal

side or the terminal ray is above the x

axis in this case if we rotate the angle

or if we rotate from the initial side to

the terminal side in the

counterclockwise direction and then the

angle is going to be positive

if we need to rotate towards the

clockwise direction in order to go from

the initial side to the terminal side

then the angle is negative so for

example let's say if we want to draw an

angle of 30 degrees this will be an

angle of positive 30 degrees if you want

to draw an angle of negative 45 we will

have to travel in the clockwise

direction so this would be an angle of

negative 45 degrees now what is the

difference between an acute angle a

right angle a straight angle and obtuse

angle you need to know the differences

between the four so in geometry you've

learned that a right angle is a 90

degree angle sometimes you'll see this

box so that's a right angle the next

angle that needs to be familiar with is

an acute angle an acute angle is simply

an angle that's less than 90 degrees but

that's greater than 0 so 60 is an acute

angle now what about a straight angle a

straight angle is basically equivalent

to a straight line it has an angle of

180 degrees

finally needs to go over an obtuse angle

so let's say this is the terminal side

and here's the initial side an obtuse

angle is greater than 90 so in this case

let's say the angle is 135 that means

this one is an obtuse angle and this is

called as much before a straight angle

so make sure you're familiar with these

terms now you need to be familiar with

the four quadrants this is the first

quadrant here you have the second this

is the third quadrant and this is the

fourth quadrant X is positive in

quadrants one and four Y is positive in

quadrants one and two X is negative in

quadrants two and three and y is

negative in quadrants three and fourth

so make sure you know that particularly

as we get into sine and cosine because

sine is associated with the Y values

cosine is associated with the X values

sine is positive in quadrants one and

two cosine is positive in quadrants one

and four now you need to be familiar

with the angles on the x axis the angle

is zero degrees on the y axis the

positive Y axis is 90 and on the

negative x axis

it's a 180 and on the negative Y axis

it's 270 if you're traveling in the

counterclockwise direction now 0 and 360

are the same they're coterminal angles

which means that they land on the same

position there are different angles that

point to the same point on the graph now

for those of you who might access to my

complete online trigonometry course is

where you can find go to udemy com

and then in a search box you could just

search for trigonometry

and you can see my course is basically

the one with the black background and

then here is in I'm still adding more

lectures but his way I have so far

introduction to angles drawn angles

converting degrees into radians linear

speed and low speed problems our glance

information on the unit circle how to

evaluate trigonometric functions using

the unit circle right triangle

trigonometry things like sohcahtoa even

you can have video quizzes as well

solving word problems like angle of

elevation problems and then you have

next section graphing sine cosine

functions secant tangent inverse trig

functions pretty much all the common

stuff that you'll see in a typical

trigonometry of course even solvent

bearings verifying trigonometric

identities sum and difference formulas

double angle half angle and some other

things too and as I mentioned before I'm

going to add some other things as well

so feel free to check it out when you

get a chance and let's continue back to

the video now let's talk about how to

draw angles in standard position so how

can we draw an angle of 45 degrees in

standard position so the first thing we

want to do is draw your x and y axis now

you know this is zero degrees the y axis

is 90 so 45 have to be right in the

middle between 0 and 90 so this is the

initial side which ri4 it and the

terminal side and so this measure is 45

degrees now for future examples I will

always draw the initial side but

whenever you want to write the angle in

stampin it's always assumed that the

initial side is on the x axis so you

might just see me draw the terminal side

now keep in mind that the initial side

is down even if I don't show it now

let's try some other examples a draw an

angle of 30 degrees

and 60 so feel free to pause the video

and try now we know that 45 is right in

the middle between 0 and 90 so 30 should

be closest to 0 then is 290 so that

should be an angle of 30 degrees 60 is

closest to 90 than it is to 0 so it

should be somewhere in this region so

that's an angle of 60 degrees relative

to the positive x axis where the initial

side is now let's try some more examples

draw an angle of 135 and also 210 and

also try these draw an angle of 300 and

the angle of let's say 330 so feel free

to pause the video and try these four

examples it doesn't have to be perfect

but as long as you have the angle in the

right position and in the right quadrant

that's good enough now keep in mind

between 0 and 90 the angle will be in

quadrant one and quadrant two it's

between 190 180 in Quadrant three that's

between 180 and 270 and quadrant four is

between 270 and 360 which is the same as

zero so 135 has to be between 90 and 180

so this in quadrant two so this is an

angle of 135 relative to the positive

x-axis now let's try 210 210 is between

180 and 270 but it's closer to 180 so

therefore 210 should be somewhere in

that region so this is an angle of 210

degrees from the positive x-axis

now what about 300 300 is between 270

and 360 but it's closer to 270 the

negative y-axis

so it should be in that vicinity so this

is the angle of 300 degrees and then 330

is closer to 360 so this is going to be

330 now let's work on some negative

angles in degrees go ahead and plot

these numbers negative 60 degrees let's

say negative 135 degrees negative 180

and also negative 240 so go ahead and

try those problems

so let's count the angles this time

rotating in the clockwise direction so

remember this is clockwise rotation

actually when you think of clockwise

rotation think of the way a clock

rotates a clock travels in this

direction counterclockwise is opposite

to the direction of the clock so this is

counter clockwise so just make sure you

remember this in a counter clockwise

direction the angle is positive in the

clockwise direction the angle is

negative so we know this is zero and

this is positive 90 so therefore this

must be negative 90 if we travel in the

clockwise direction and this is negative

180 negative - stefanie and zero is

equivalent to negative 360 so we want to

stop at negative 60 so we need to rotate

close to negative 90 but not too far so

that's an angle of negative 60

now what about negative 135 that's

between negative 180 and negative 90 so

negative 135 it's in Quadrant three but

it's right in between negative 90 and

negative 180 so that's negative 135 now

what about the next one negative 180 we

can see negative 180s right there so

it's simply over here relative of course

to the positive x axis so we're going to

start the angle from here so this is

negative 180 positive 180 would end up

in the same location but you would draw

the angle rotating counterclockwise now

what about negative 240 negative 240 is

in Quadrant 2 it's between negative 180

and negative 270 but it's closer to

negative 270 so it should be remember

that's too close somewhere not vicinity

so this is going to be negative 270 I

mean negative 240 and so now you know

how to plot positive and negative angles

in degrees on and

why rectangular coordinate system
