1 Definitions.(1) Angle :The motion of any revolving line in a plane from its initial position
(initial side) to the final position (terminal side) is called angle. The end point O
about which the line rotates is called the vertex of the angle.
(2) Measure of an angle : The measure of an angle is the amount of
rotation from the initial side to the terminal side.
(3) Sense of an angle : The sense of an angle is
determined by the direction of rotation of the initial side into the
terminal side. The sense of an angle is said to be positive or
negative according as the initial side rotates in anticlockwise or
clockwise direction to get the terminal side.

(4) Right angle : If the revolving ray starting from its initial position to final position describes one
quarter of a circle. Then we say that the measure of the angle formed is a right angle.
(5) Quadrants: Let OXX' and 'YOY be two lines at right angles in the
plane of the paper. These lines divide the plane of paper into four equal
parts. Which are known as quadrants. The lines OXX' and 'YOY are
known as x-axis and y-axis. These two lines taken together are known as
the co-ordinate axes.
(6) Angle in standard position : An angle is said to be in standard position if its vertex conicides
with the origin O and the initial side coincides with OXi.e., the positive direction ofx-axis.
(7) Angle in a quadrant : An angle is said to be in a particular quadrant if the terminal side of the
angle in standard position lies in that quadrant.
(8) Quadrant angle: An angle is said to be a quadrant angle if the terminal side coincides with one of
the axes.
2 System of Measurement of Angles
There are three system for measuring angles
(1) Sexagesimal or English system : Here a right angle is divided into 90 equal parts known as
degrees. Each degree is divided into 60 equal parts called minutes and each minute is further
divided into 60 equal parts called seconds. Therefore, 1 right angle =90 degree )90( o=
60=o minutes )60( '=
60'1 = second )''60(=
(2) Centesimal or French system : It is also known as French system, here a right angle is
divided into 100 equal parts called grades and each grade is divided into 100 equal parts, called
minutes and each minute is further divided into 100 seconds. Therefore,
1 right angle = 100 grades )100( g=
1 grade = 100 minutes )'100(=
1 minute = 100 seconds )''100(=

(3) Circular system : In this system the unit of measurement is radian. One radian, written
as c , is the measure of an angle subtended at the centre of a circle by
an arc of length equal to the radius of the circle.
Consider a circle of radius rhaving centre at O. LetA be a point on the
circle. Now cut off an arcAP whose length is equal to the radius rof the
circle. Then by the definition the measure of AOP is 1 radian )1( c= .

4 Relation between an Arc and an Angle.Ifsis the length of an arc of a circle of radius r, then the angle q (in radians) subtended by this
arc at the centre of the circle is given by r

F The angle between two consecutive digits in a clock is 30o
(= p/6 radians). The hour hand rotates through an angle of30o
in one hour.
F The minute hand rotate through an angle of6o
in one minute.
5 Trigonometrical Ratios or Functions.
In the right angled triangle OMP, we have base = OM = x,
perpendicular =PM =y and
hypotenues = OP =r. We define the following trigonometric ratio
