Trigonometric Functions: Additional Mathematics - Chapter 5 1

Trigonometric functions describe the relationships between angles and sides of triangles. They have been used since ancient times in fields like construction, engineering, and astronomy. Trigonometry allows precise measurements of lengths and angles. Positive angles are those formed by rotating rays counterclockwise, while negative angles are formed clockwise. Angles greater than 360 degrees are defined by making additional full rotations, with reference angles always being acute.

 5.1.1 (a) Concept of an angle
Ø It is convenient to let the vertex of the angle (
Ø) coincide with the origin 0 of the
Cartesian plane.
Ø One ray of the angle remains fixed on the
positive x-axis.
Ø The other ray ( rotating ray ) is then rotated
to generate an angle.

5.1.1 (b) Positive angles that are greater
than 360° or 2∏ radians.
Ø Each time the rotating ray has moved
through a complete circle, it has made a
revolution.
Ø An angle formed by one revolution in the
clockwise direction is 360° (or 2∏
radians).
Ø And given an angle Ø, its reference angle,
Ar, is the acute angle formed between
the rotating ray of the angle Ø and the x-
axis.
