This document discusses radian measure and its use in measuring angles and arcs in circles. It defines a radian as the angle subtended at the center of a circle by an arc equal in length to the radius. The document provides formulas for converting between radian and degree measures. Specifically, it states that 1 radian is equal to 180/ degrees, or approximately 57.3 degrees. Examples are given to demonstrate calculating radian measures given arc lengths and radii, and to convert between radians and degrees.
4. Radian MeasureThe limitation of degree measurement requires another circular measure which is radian.The angle subtended at the centre of a circle by an arc are equal in length to the radius is 1 radian
5. Radian MeasureLength of arc APC = 2rLength of arc APD = 3rLength of arc APE = 3.6rAOC = 2 radiansAOD = 3 radiansAOE = 3.6 radiansSo, how do we determine the radian measure given the arc length and the radius of the circle?
6. Radian MeasureIn general, if the length of arc, s units and the radius is r units, then That is the size of the angle (慮) is given by the ratio of the arc length to the length of the radius.For example:If s = 3 cm and r = 2 cm, then
7. Relation between Radian and Degree MeasureConsider the angle 慮 in a semicircle of radius r as shown below. Then,We can concludeFurthermore,
