1. Student will convert angle measures
(DD, DMS, radians or degrees), and
identify coterminal angles in order to
understand the unit circle and
trigonometry.
2. Student will use given angle measures
in order to find the length of an arc,
linear and angular velocities and the
area of a sector.

Coterminal Angles
Coterminal angles are
angles in standard
position that have a
common terminal side.
Degrees (0)
1 counterclockwise revolution = 3600
10 = 1/360 revolution
900 = 1/4 revolution (Right angle)
1800 = 1/2 revolution (Straight angle)
