Give the equations relating degree measure and radian measure of angles.
I 2-rr radians is the same as 360 degrees. Hence, 1 radian = 180/Tr degrees, and 1 degree = 77/180
radians. So, if an angle has a measure of D degrees and/? radians, then D = (180/7r).R and R = (77/180)D.
10.3
Give the radian measure of angles of 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°, 120°, 135°, 180°, 270°, and 360°.
I We use the formula R = (?r/180)D. Hence 30° = 77/6 radians, 45° = 77/4 radians, 60° = 77/3 radians,
90° = 77/2 radians, 120° = 27T/3 radians, 135° = 377/4 radians, 180° = 77 radians, 270° = 377/2 radians,
360° = 277 radians.
10.4
Give the degree measure of angles of 377/5 radians and 577/6 radians.
I We use the formula D = (180 ITT)R. Thus, 377/5 radians = 108° and 577/6 radians = 150°.
10.5
In a circle of radius 10 inches, what arc length along the circumference is intercepted by a central angle of 77/5
radians?
I The arc length s, the radius r, and the central angle 6 (measured in radians) are related by the equation
s = r6. In this case, r = 10 inches and 0 = 77/5. Hence, 5 = 277 inches.
10.6
If a bug moves a distance of 377 centimeters along a circular arc and if this arc subtends a central angle of 45°, what
is the radius of the circle?
I s = rO. In this case, s = 3ir centimeters and 0 = 77/4 (the radian measure equivalent of 45°). Thus,
377 = r • 77/4. Hence, r = 12 centimeters.
10.7
Draw a picture of the rotation determining an angle of -77/3 radians.
I See Fig. 10-2. 77/3 radians = 60°, and the minus sign indicates that a 60° rotation is to be taken in the
clockwise direction. (Positive angles correspond to counterclockwise rotations.)

10.1
Define radian measure, that is, describe an angle of 1 radian.
Consider a circle with a radius of one unit (Fig. 10-1). Let the center be C, and let CA and CB be two radii
for which the intercepted arc AB of the circle has length 1. Then the central angle /LACE has a measure of one
radian.
