HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND!13.2 Angles and Angle Measure
What you'll learn...- Change radian measure to degree measure and vise versa
- Identify coterminal Angles
Most of you are used to thinking of a circle in terms of degrees: 360° is the whole circle. 180° is half the circle etc... Well, radian measure is just a different way of talking about the circle. Radian measure is just different unit of measure. Just as we can measure a football field in yards or feet--we can measure a circle in degrees (like the good old days) or in radians (welcome to the big leagues!) Think about what the word radian sounds like...well, it sounds like 'radius', right? It turns out that a radian has a close relationship to the radius of a circle Definition of radian(we'll break this down more on this page): a radian is the measure of an angle that, when drawn a central angle of a circle, intercepts an arc whose length is equal to the length of the radius of the circle.
Degrees to radians The general formula for converting from degrees to radians is to simply multiply the number of degree by Π /180°
- Example 1:
Convert 200° into radian measure:
200° (Π/180°) = 200/180Π radians or 3.49 radians - Example 2:
Convert 120° into radian measure:
120° (Π/180°) = (2/3)Π radians = 2.09 radians
Radians to degrees
The general formula for converting from degrees to radians is to simply multiply the number of degree by 180°/(Π)
- Convert 1.4 radians into degrees: 1.4 (180°/Π) = 80.2 °
