Radian Measure 1 Unit 1 Unit 1c One radian is the angle that a one unit arc makes with centre of a unit circle. Proof Circumference = 2πr 2π = 360o π = 180o = 2π (1) π radians = 180o = 2π The circumference is 2π
Radian Measure Conversions Example 1 Convert into degrees. 5π 3 Example 2 Convert 45o into radians. 5π 3 = 5x180 3 π = 180o = 300o 180o = π radians 1o = π/180 radians Example 3 Convert 1.6c into degrees. 45o = π/180 x 45 radians = 45π/180 radians π radians = 180o = π/4 radians 1 radians = 180/π deg 1.6 radians = 180/π x 1.6 deg = 91o 40’
