Angle of Depression Pg 622

At an altitude of 1,000 ft., a balloonist measures the angle

of depression from the balloon to the landing zone. The
measure of the angle is 15 degrees. How far is the balloon
from the landing zone?

Measuring Angles

The measure of an angle is determined by the amount of

rotation from the initial side to the terminal side.

There are two common ways to measure angles, in degrees

and in radians.

We’ll start with degrees, denoted by the symbol º.

1
One degree (1º) is equivalent to a rotation of of one
360
revolution.

Classifying Angles

Angles are often classified according to the quadrant

in which their terminal sides lie.

Ex1: Name the quadrant in which each angle lies.

50º Quadrant 1
208º Quadrant 3 II I

-75º Quadrant 4 III IV

Classifying Angles

Standard position angles that have their terminal side

on one of the axes are called quadrantal angles.

For example, 0º, 90º, 180º, 270º, 360º, … are

quadrantal angles.

A second way to measure angles is in radians.
