Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-16 Example: Finding an Angle Measure Two gears are adjusted so that the smaller gear drives the larger one, as shown. If the smaller gear rotates through 225 , through how many degrees will the larger gear rotate?
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-17 Solution Find the radian measure of the angle and then find the arc length on the smaller gear that determines the motion of the larger gear.

Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-26 Evaluating a Circular Function Circular function values of real numbers are obtained in the same manner as trigonometric function values of angles measured in radians. This applies both to methods of finding exact values (such as reference angle analysis) and to calculator approximations. Calculators must be in radian mode when finding circular function values.
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-27 Example: Finding Exact Circular Function Values Find the exact values of Evaluating a circular function at the real number is equivalent to evaluating it at radians. An angle of intersects the unit circle at the point. Since sin s = y, cos s = x, and
