    A: Concepts

    Exercise \(\PageIndex{A}\) 

    1) Draw an angle in standard position. Label the vertex, initial side, and terminal side.

    2) Explain why there are an infinite number of angles that are coterminal to a certain angle.

    3) State what a positive or negative angle signifies, and explain how to draw each.

    4) How does radian measure of an angle compare to the degree measure? Include an explanation of \(1\) radian in your paragraph.

    Answers to odd exercises:

    1. Graph of a circle with an angle inscribed, showing the initial side, terminal side, and vertex.
    3. Whether the angle is positive or negative determines the direction. A positive angle is drawn in the counterclockwise direction, and a negative angle is drawn in the clockwise direction.
