3
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-3 Measuring Angles Thus far we have measured angles in degrees For most practical applications of trigonometry this the preferred measure For advanced mathematics courses it is more common to measure angles in units called “radians” In this chapter we will become acquainted with this means of measuring angles and learn to convert from one unit of measure to the other

Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-4 Radian Measure An angle with its vertex at the center of a circle that intercepts an arc on the circle equal in length to the radius of the circle has a measure of 1 radian. (1 rad)
5
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-5 Comments on Radian Measure A radian is an amount of rotation that is independent of the radius chosen for rotation For example, all of these give a rotation of 1 radian: radius of 2 rotated along an arc length of 2 radius of 1 rotated along an arc length of 1 radius of 5 rotated along an arc length of 5, etc.

Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-6 More Comments on Radian Measure As with measures given in degrees, a counterclockwise rotation gives a measure expressed in positive radians and a clockwise rotation gives a measure expressed in negative radians Since a complete rotation of a ray back to the initial position generates a circle of radius “r”, and since the circumference of that circle (arc length) is, there are radians in a complete rotation Based on the reasoning just discussed:

Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-7 Converting Between Degrees and Radians From the preceding discussion these ratios both equal “1”: To convert between degrees and radians: Multiply a degree measure by and simplify to convert to radians. Multiply a radian measure by and simplify to convert to degrees.

Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-12 Finding Trigonometric Function Values of Angles Measured in Radians All previous definitions of trig functions still apply Sometimes it may be useful when trying to find a trig function of an angle measured in radians to first convert the radian measure to degrees When a trig function of a specific angle measure is indicated, but no units are specified on the angle measure, ALWAYS ASSUME THAT UNSPECIFIED ANGLE UNITS ARE RADIANS! When using a calculator to find trig functions of angles measured in radians, be sure to first set the calculator to “radian mode”

16
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-16 Arc Lengths and Central Angles of a Circle Given a circle of radius “r”, any angle with vertex at the center of the circle is called a “central angle” The portion of the circle intercepted by the central angle is called an “arc” and has a specific length called “arc length” represented by “s” From geometry it is know that in a specific circle the length of an arc is proportional to the measure of its central angle For any two central angles, and, with corresponding arc lengths and :
17
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-17 Development of Formula for Arc Length Since this relationship is true for any two central angles and corresponding arc lengths in a circle of radius r: Let one angle be with corresponding arc length and let the other central angle be a whole rotation, with arc length
18
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-18 Example: Finding Arc Length A circle has radius 18.2 cm. Find the length of the arc intercepted by a central angle having the following measure:
19
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-19 Example: Finding Arc Length continued For the same circle with r = 18.2 cm and = 144 , find the arc length convert 144 to radians
20
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-20 Note Concerning Application Problems Involving Movement Along an Arc When a rope, chain, belt, etc. is attached to a circular object and is pulled by, or pulls, the object so as to rotate it around its center, then the length of the movement of the rope, chain, belt, etc. is the same as the length of the arc
21
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-21 Example: Finding a Length A rope is being wound around a drum with radius.8725 ft. How much rope will be wound around the drum if the drum is rotated through an angle of 39.72 ? Convert 39.72 to radian measure.
22
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-22 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? The motion of the small gear will generate an arc length on the small gear and an equal movement on the large gear
23
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-23 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. This same arc length will occur on the larger gear.
24
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-24 Solution continued An arc with this length on the larger gear corresponds to an angle measure , in radians where Convert back to degrees.
25
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-25 Sectors and Central Angles of a Circle The pie shaped portion of the interior of circle intercepted by the central angle is called a “sector” From geometry it is know that in a specific circle the area of a sector is proportional to the measure of its central angle For any two central angles, and, with corresponding sector areas and :
26
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-26 Development of Formula for Area of Sector Since this relationship is true for any two central angles and corresponding sectors in a circle of radius r: Let one angle be with corresponding sector area and let the other central angle be a whole rotation, with sector area
27
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-27 Area of a Sector The area of a sector of a circle of radius r and central angle is given by

31
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-31 Circular Functions Compared with Trigonometric Functions “Circular Functions” are named the same as trig functions (sine, cosine, tangent, etc.) The domain of trig functions is a set of angles measured either in degrees or radians The domain of circular functions is a set of real numbers The value of a trig function of a specific angle in its domain is a ratio of real numbers The value of circular function of a real number “x” is the same as the corresponding trig function of “x radians” Example:
32
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-32 Circular Functions Defined The definition of circular functions begins with a unit circle, a circle of radius 1 with center at the origin Choose a real number s, and beginning at (1, 0) mark off arc length s counterclockwise if s is positive (clockwise if negative) Let (x, y) be the point on the unit circle at the endpoint of the arc Let be the central angle for the arc measured in radians Since s=r, and r = 1, Define circular functions of s to be equal to trig functions of

34
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-34 Observations About Circular Functions If a real number s is represented “in standard position” as an arc length on a unit circle, the ordered pair at the endpoint of the arc is: (cos s, sin s)
35
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-35 Further Observations About Circular Functions Draw a vertical line through (1,0) and draw a line segment from the endpoint of s, through the origin, to intersect the vertical line The two triangles formed are similar

38
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-38 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 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.
39
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-39 Example: Finding Exact Circular Function Values Find the exact values of Evaluating a circular function of the real number is equivalent to evaluating a trig function for radians. Convert radian measure to degrees: What is the reference angle? Using our knowledge of relationships between trig functions of angles and trig functions of reference angles:

Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-40 Example: Approximating Circular Function Values with a Calculator Find a calculator approximation to four decimal places for each circular function. (Make sure the calculator is in radian mode.) a) cos 2.01 b) cos.6207 For the cotangent, secant, and cosecant functions values, we must use the appropriate reciprocal functions. c) cot 1.2071

Slide 3-42 Finding an Exact Number Given its Circular Function Value Find the exact value of s in the interval given that: What known reference angle has this exact tangent value? Based on the interval specified, in what quadrant must the reference angle be placed? The exact real number we seek for “s” is:

Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. 3.4 Linear and Angular Speed
45
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-45 Circular Motion When an object is traveling in a circular path, there are two ways of describing the speed observed: We can describe the actual speed of the object in terms of the distance it travels per unit of time (linear speed) We can also describe how much the central angle changes per unit of time (angular speed)
46
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-46 Linear and Angular Speed Linear Speed: distance traveled per unit of time (distance may be measured in a straight line or along a curve – for circular motion, distance is an arc length) Angular Speed: the amount of rotation per unit of time, where is the angle of rotation measured in radians and t is the time.

48
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-48 Example: Using the Formulas Suppose that point P is on a circle with radius 20 cm, and ray OP is rotating with angular speed radians per second. a) Find the angle generated by P in 6 sec. b) Find the distance traveled by P along the circle in 6 sec. c) Find the linear speed of P.

Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-49 Solution: Find the angle generated by P in 6 seconds. Which formula includes the unknown angle and other things that are known? Substitute for to find
50
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-50 Solution: Find the distance traveled by P in 6 seconds The distance traveled is along an arc. What is the formula for calculating arc length? The distance traveled by P along the circle is
51
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-51 Solution: Find the linear speed of P There are three formulas for linear speed. You can use any one that is appropriate for the information that you know: Linear speed:
52
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-52 Observations About Combinations of Objects Moving in Circular Paths When multiple objects, moving in circular paths, are connected by means of being in contact, or by being connected with a belt or chain, the linear speeds of all objects and any connecting devices are all the same In this same situation, angular speeds may be different and will depend on the radius of each circular path
53
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-53 Observations About Angular Speed Angular speed is sometimes expressed in units such as revolutions per unit time or rotations per unit time In these situations you should convert to the units of radians per unit time by normal unit conversion methods before using the formulas Example: Express 55 rotations per minute in terms of angular speed units of radians per second
54
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 3-54 Example: A belt runs a pulley of radius 6 cm at 80 revolutions per min. a) Find the angular speed of the pulley in radians per second. b) Find the linear speed of the belt in centimeters per second. The linear speed of the belt will be the same as that of a point on the circumference of the pulley.
