What Is It (Discussion)

When is an angle said to be drawn in standard position?

Standard Position of Angles

(Cited from the book of Cabral, E. et al, 2010)

At this point, we also extend our allowable rotation to include angles which
.encompasses more than one revolution. For example, 450°, we start with an initial side,
rotate counterclockwise one complete revolution (to take care of the “first” 360°) then
continue with an additional 90°, as shown below:

Figure 1: Standard position of 450°

According to Cabral, E (2010), an angle is said to be in standard position if its vertex is

the origin and its initial side coincides with the positive x-axis. And if the terminal
side of an angle lies on one of the coordinate axes, it is called a quadrantal angle. Two
angles in standard position are called coterminal if they share the same terminal side.

Another illustration of angles in their Standard Position, as shown in the figure 2 below:

10
 Figure 2: Angles in Standard Position

Two angles in standard position are COTERMINAL if their sides coincide. In figure 2, the
angles in ( a ) and ( c ) are coterminal.

Some more illustrations of coterminal angles drawn in one xy-plane, as in figure 3 below:

α = 120°

β = -240°

Figure 3: Two different angles in standard position that are coterminal.

Examples of finding coterminal angles (positive and negative) both in degrees and radian.

a) Find angles that are coterminal with the angle ϴ = 30° in standard position.
π
b) Find angles that are coterminal with the angle ϴ= 3 in standard position.

Solutions:

a) To find positive angles that are coterminal with ϴ, we add any multiple of
360°or
ϴ ± 360 k , where k stands for any integer except zero.

Thus, 30° + (360°)1 = 390°, k = 1

30° + (360°)2 = 750°, k = 2
30° + (360°)3 = 1110°, k = 3

11
 So, 390°, 750°, 1110° are one of the positive coterminal angles with ϴ =
30°
and there are infinite number of positive coterminal angles since k is any
integer except zero.

To find negative angles that are coterminal with ϴ, we subtract any multiple of
360°.

Thus, 30° – 1(360°) = - 330°, k = - 1

30° – 2(360°) = - 690°, k = - 2
30° – 3(360°) = - 1050°, k = - 3
So, - 330°, - 690°, - 1050° are one of the negative coterminal angles with
ϴ = 30° and there are also infinite number of negative coterminal angles
since k is any integer except zero.

Therefore 30°, 390°, 750°, 1110°, - 330°, - 690°, - 1050° are coterminal angles.
There are more angle measures which are still coterminal with the six
highlighted angle measures above. Observe that the degree measure of
coterminal angles differ by multiples of 360°.

b) To find positive angles that are coterminal with ϴ, we add any multiple of 2π or
ϴ ± 2 π k , where k stands for any integer except zero.

π 7π
Thus,
3
+ 2π(1) = 3
,k=1

π 13 π

7π 13 π 19 π
So, , , are one of the positive coterminal angles (radian

form)

π
with ϴ = and there are also infinite number of negative coterminal

angles
since k is any integer except zero.

12
 To find negative angles that are coterminal with ϴ, we subtract any multiple of
2π.

π −5 π
Thus,
3
- 1(2π) = 3
,k=-1

π −11π
3 - 2(2π) = 3 ,k=-2

π −17 π
3 - 3(2π) = 3 ,k=-3

−5 π −11 π −17 π
So, , , are one of the negative coterminal angles
3 3 3
(radian

form with ϴ = and there are also infinite number of negative

coterminal
angles since k is any integer except zero.

π 7 π 13 π
Therefore
3
, 3
, 3 , 193 π ,− 53π , −11 π
3
, −17

π
are coterminal angles.
There are more angle measures which are still coterminal with the five
highlighted angle measures(radian) in solution (b). Observe that the radian
measure of coterminal angles differ by multiples of 2π.

Two angles are coterminal if and only if their degree measure

differ by 360k , where k ∈ Z and k is any integer except
zero. Similarly, two angles are coterminal if and only if their
radian measures differ by 2πk, k ∈ Z.

Note: Recall your Mathematics 7 for the meaning of the symbols, ∈ and Z (about SET)

Other examples on finding coterminal angles:

c) Find angle measure coterminal with - 380° that has measure:

between 0° and 360° and between -360° and 0°.

13
Solutions:

A negative angle moves in a clockwise direction, the angle -380° lies in QIV.

1) -380° + 2(360°) = 340° (coterminal with -380° which is between 0° and

360°)

2) -380° +1(360°) = - 20°(coterminal with -380° which is between -360° and

0°.
