Question

For a positive angle, the rotation from the initial side to the terminal side takes place in a ___________ direction. For a negative angle, the rotation takes place in a -_________ direction

Answer 1

For a positive angle, the rotation from the initial side to the terminal side takes place in an anticlockwise direction and for a negative angle, the rotation takes place in a clockwise direction is the correct answer.

In this question,

An angle is formed when two straight lines or rays meet at a common endpoint. The measure of the 'opening' between these two rays is called an 'angle'. The common point of contact is called the vertex of an angle.

When measuring the angle, one arm is fixed as the base while the other moves clockwise or counterclockwise to form an angle between the two. Rotation is measured from the initial side to the terminal side of the angle.

The amount of rotation of a ray from its initial position to final position in anticlockwise direction is called positive angle. An angle generated in a clockwise direction from the base is a negative angle.

Hence we can conclude that for a positive angle, the rotation from the initial side to the terminal side takes place in an anticlockwise direction and for a negative angle, the rotation takes place in a clockwise direction is the correct answer.
