Angles-in-standard-Position

The document covers the concepts of angles in standard position, coterminal angles, and reference angles in precalculus. It defines coterminal angles as those sharing the same terminal side and provides methods to find both positive and negative coterminal angles. Additionally, it explains reference angles as the acute angles formed with the x-axis and includes examples and exercises for practice.

ANGLES
Angles in the Standard Position,
Coterminal Angles, and Reference Angles

An angle is said to be in the standard


position if its vertex is at the origin of the
rectangular coordinate system and its
initial side coincides with the positive x-
axis. Figure 9.5 shows angles in the
standard position.
Angles in the Standard Position,
Coterminal Angles, and Reference Angles
Two angles in the standard
position that have the
same terminal side are
called coterminal angles.
Figure 9.6 shows two
angles are coterminal.

Given an angle expressed


in degrees, all angles of
the from , where is any
integer, are coterminal
with .

A reference angle is the acute angle
formed by the terminal side of a given
angle in the standard position and the x-
axis. Each of the figures below shows the
