Unit 6 Trigonometry II
Lesson 1: Angles of Rotation
Grade 10: Solve sinθ = 0.866
Looking at the sine function, where θ is the angle and y is the trig ratio, we see that there are more possible answers since y = sinθ is periodic.
∴ θ =
are all solutions to the trig equation sinθ = 0.866 because we o
must take into account all angles < 0 and > 90.o

Angles of Rotation
We use the cartesian plane to account for angles greater than o
90 .
Counter clockwise rotation shows a positive angle.
Clockwise rotation shows a negative angle.
The rotation is indicated by a directed arrow starting at the positive xaxis (θ is in standard position).
Ex.1. State the angle of rotation.
(b)
a)
60

Two angles in standard position are coterminal if they have the same terminal arm. Coterminal angles differ by a multiple o
of 360.
∴ Examples a & b above are coterminal.

Angles of any measure have a Related Acute Angle (β) associated with them. The RAA (β) is the acute (less than 90 ) angle (can be shown in a ) that is formed between the terminal arm and the xaxis.
We always draw a line up/down to the xaxis. This
drawn is very useful in trigonometry
Ex.4. Find the RAA, β, for each angle θ. Draw the line with the xaxis.
