    • Angle Measurement Units

      • Degrees: Full circle = ( 360^\circ )
      • Radians: Full circle = ( 2\pi ) radians (1 radian ( \approx 57.3^\circ ))
      • Conversion: ( \theta \text{ (degrees)} = \theta \text{ (radians)} \times \frac{180}{\pi} )
    • Standard Position of Angles

      • Angles measured from the positive x-axis.
      • Counterclockwise rotation is positive; clockwise rotation is negative.

    Angle Measurement Units

    • Angles can be measured in degrees and radians:
      • Full circle: ( 360^\circ ) in degrees, ( 2\pi ) radians in radians.
      • Conversion factor: ( \theta \text{ (degrees)} = \theta \text{ (radians)} \times \frac{180}{\pi} ).

    Standard Position of Angles

    • Angles are measured from the positive x-axis.
