Refresher


Recall that angles in standard position

  • have their vertex at the origin (point (0, 0) on the Cartesian plane)
  • are formed by an initial arm on the positive x-axis and a terminal arm
  • are “swept out” in a counterclockwise direction from the initial arm to the terminal arm

     
    This is a graphic of an angle in standard position. The initial arm is the positive x-axis, the vertex is at the origin, and the terminal arm is in quadrant 2. The angle marked as theta equals 122 degrees.
