13-3: Radian Measure Radian Measure There are 360º in a circle The circumference of a circle = 2r. So if the radius of a circle were 1, then there a circle would contain 2 radians. This gives us our conversion factor: 360º = 2 radians Note: Dividing both sides by 2 gives: 180º = radians 1 revolution around a circle = 2 radians 3 / 4 revolution: 3 / 4 * 2 = 3 / 2 radians 1 / 2 revolution: 1 / 2 * 2 = radians 1 / 4 revolution: 1 / 4 * 2 = / 2 radians 2 ½ revolutions = 2 ½ * 2 = 5 radians
13-3: Radian Measure Converting Between Degree and Radians Use the conversion factor: = 180° (or 2 = 360°) Convert the following degree measurements to radians 75° 75° * / 180° = 75 / 180 = 5 / ° 220° * / 180° = 220 / 180 = 11 / 9 400° 400° * / 180° = 400 / 180 = 20 / 9
Converting Between Degree and Radians Use the conversion factor: = 180° (or 2 = 360°) Convert the following radian measurements to degrees / 5 / 5 * 180° / = 180 / 5 = 36° 4 / 9 4 / 9 * 180° / = 720 / 9 = 80° 6 6 * 180° / = 1080°
Arc Length An arc with central angle measure θ radians has length: l = r θ The arc length is the radius times the radian measure of the central angle of the arc. Example Find the length of arc s l = 3 5 / 6 = 5 / 2 7.9 inches Find the length of arc b l = 3 2 / 3 = 2 6.3 inches
