Positive angle

an angle measured counterclockwise from the initial side of a reference angle in standard position, usually expressed in degrees or radians

Examples

1. The direction of rotation by a positive angle is counter-clockwise.

2. So we could say an acute positive angle or as a positive acute angle.

3. And when we talk about positive angles, we're talking about going in the counterclockwise directions.

4. And if we go in the positive angle direction, if we go in that direction, our x-coordinate-- it starts at 1, and then it gets a little bit shorter.
