-ve angles(Clockwise angles)

[khurram]

Hi all,

I'm a bit confused about negative angles & want to know if their values decrease with increasing magnitudes like negative integers?
e.g,

Whether -45 degrees greater than -60 degrees or -90 degrees greater than -180 degres?.Thanks.

Ummm... That pretty much makes no sense at all.

Does "=ve" mean "negative"? Never use "-ve" again. Most communication in English is facilitated by the use of actual English.

Your question is not actually a question. It is not clear at all what is wanted.

You'll have to define "greater than".

Hi,

I simply want to know:
is - Pi/2>-PI ?


just as -8>-67 in integers.

The answer is No. A negative angle designation simply means to measure the angle in a clockwise direction instead of a counterclockwise direction. The angle magnitudes are the same, whether positive or negative.

You will notice that wjm11 answerd your question in degrees. Without the degrees, it is less clear what sort of system you are on and the answer is less clear as well. \(\displaystyle \pi\) and \(\displaystyle \;-\pi\) might just be numbers on a Real Number line. In that case, the ineqaulities would work the same as with any other Real Numbers.
