16.2 Arc Length and Radian Measure
Arc Length- understood to be the distance along a circular arc measured in linear units (such as feet or centimeters)
Formula Sheet gives: 1 degree = _∏__ radians 180° How to convert to radian measure? Formula Sheet gives: 1 degree = _∏__ radians 180° 1 radian = 180° degrees ∏ Radian- a unit of angle measure based on arc length. In a circle of radius r, if a central angle has a measure of 1 radian, then the length of the intercepted arc is r units. 2∏ radians = 360° 1 radian ≈ 57°
1. Convert 180° to radian measure.
