Section 4.1 Radian and Degree Measure
2
We will begin our study of precalculus by focusing on the topic of trigonometry Literal meaning of trigonometry The measurement of triangles Thus, we will be spending a lot of time working with and studying different triangles
3
Radian and Degree Measure To begin our study on trigonometry, we first start with angles and their measures An angle is determined by rotating a ray (half-line) about its endpoint. Initial Side Terminal Side Vertex
4
Radian and Degree Measure Standard Position An angle in standard position has 2 characteristics: 1) Initial side lies on the x-axis 2) Vertex is at the origin x y
5

6
Radian and Degree Measure Standard Position An angle in standard position has 2 characteristics: 1) Initial side lies on the x-axis 2) Vertex is at the origin x y
7
Radian and Degree Measure Positive Angles Rotate clockwise In standard position, start by going up Negative Angles Rotate counterclockwise In standard position, start by going down
8
Radian and Degree Measure Negative Angle
9
Radian and Degree Measure Positive Angle
10
Radian and Degree Measure Angles can be measured in one of two units: 1) Degrees 2) Radians One full revolution of a central angle would be equal to: 1) 360 º 2) 2π radians (or 6.28 radians)
11
Radian and Degree Measure In radians, there are common angles that will need to be memorized = 180º = 90º = 270º
12
Radian and Degree Measure In addition to our quadrant angles, there are 3 more angles that we will be using throughout the year. = 30º = 45º = 60º
13
Radian and Degree Measure Coterminal Angles Two angles that have the same: Vertex Initial Side Terminal Side All angles have an infinite number of coterminal angles
14
Radian and Degree Measure Finding Coterminal angles To find a positive coterminal angle Add 2 π (or 360 º) to the given angle To find a negative coterminal angle Subtract 2 π (or 360 º) from the given angle
15
Radian and Degree Measure Graph the following angle and determine two coterminal angles, one positive and one negative.

33
Find the complement, supplement, and two coterminal angles of the following angle. Convert the angle above to degrees.
34
Radian and Degree Measure So far in this section, we have: a) Graphed angles in both radians & degrees b) Found positive and negative coterminal angles c) Found complementary and supplementary angles d) Converted between radians and degrees Today we are going to apply this to different word problems (arc length, linear speed, angular speed)
35
Radian and Degree Measure Arc Length The distance along the circumference of a circle with a central angle of θ Given by the formula: s = r θ Where: s = the arc length r = the radius of the circle θ = the central angle in radians
36
Radian and Degree Measure A circle has a radius of 4 inches. Find the length of the arc intercepted by a central angle of 240º. 1) Convert the angle to radians. 2) Apply the formula. S =(4)=16.7 inches
37
Radian and Degree Measure On a circle with a radius of 9 inches, find the length of the arc intercepted by a central angle of 140 º. S =(9) = 22 inches
38
Radian and Degree Measure Linear & Angular Speed Linear speed measures how fast a particle is moving along the circular arc of a circle with radius r Given by the formula:
39
Radian and Degree Measure Linear & Angular Speed Angular speed measures how fast the angle changes Given by the formula:
40
Radian and Degree Measure The second hand of a clock is 11 inches long. Find the linear speed of the tip of this second hand as it passes around the clock face. In one revolution, how far does the tip travel? s = 2 π r = 22 π inches What is the time required to travel this distance? t = 60 seconds r = 11 inches

Radian and Degree Measure A car is moving at a rate of 65 mph, and the diameters of its wheels is 2.5 feet. a) Find the number of revolutions per minute the wheels are rotating. b) Find the angular speed of the wheels in radians per minute.
43
Radian and Degree Measure A car is moving at a rate of 65 mph, and the diameters of its wheels is 2.5 feet. a) Find the number of revolutions per minute the wheels are rotating. Find the arc length for one revolution: S = r θ = (1.25) (2 π ) = 2.5 π feet per revolution How many feet per hour is the car traveling? (65 mph )(5,280 feet)= 343,200 feet/hour = 5,720 feet/min = 728.3 revolutions
44
Radian and Degree Measure A car is moving at a rate of 65 mph, and the diameters of its wheels is 2.5 feet. b) Find the angular speed of the wheels in radians per minute. (728.3 revolutions) (2 π ) = 4,576 radians Angular Speed
45
Radian and Degree Measure A car is moving at a rate of 35 mph, and the radius of its wheels is 2 feet. a) Find the number of revolutions per minute the wheels are rotating. b) Find the angular speed of the wheels in radians per minute. 245.1 revolutions per minute
