How to Draw an Angle in Standard Position
Author: Hannah Solomon
This video explains how to draw an angle in standard position. The vertex of the angle should be on the origin, and the initial side on the positive x-axis. Postive angles rotate counterclockwise, and negative angles rotate clockwise.
