Introduction to Radian measure1 For a circle of radius r, the angle at the centre, which subtends an arc of length r, is equal to 1 radian If arc AB has length r, then angle AOB is 1 radian (1cor 1 rad) A r O 1c r r As the circumference of the circle is 2 r the total angle is 2 radians Radians are an alternative to degrees. Some calculations involving circles are easier when Radians are used, as opposed to degrees. B r 2 r 360 180 = 1c 45 135 225 0 30 60 90 120 150 180 210 = = = c c 2 2 c 0? ??

WB 3 arc length Calculator in Radians O opp hyp 1.2 2 0.6 Finding the length of an arc is easier when you use radians = sin x (H) x 2m x = sin The border of a garden pond consists of a straight edge AB of length 2.4m, and a curved part C, as shown in the diagram below. The curved part is an arc of a circle, centre O and radius 2m. Find the length of C. C x = sin A B 1.2m (O) Inverse sine = 0.6435 x rad Double for angle AOB = 2 1.287 x rad Angle = 2 1.287 Angle = 4.996 rad = r 2 4.996 9.99 m l l = l = 2m 2m O B A 2.4m (We need to work out angle )
WB 4 sector area In the diagram, the area of the minor sector AOB is 28.9cm2. Given that angle AOB is 0.8 rad, calculate the value of r. 1 2 = r 2 A Put the numbers in 1 2r = 2 28.9 (0.8) x 0.8 = 0.4 = 2 28.9 0.4r A Divide by 0.4 r cm = 2 72.25 r 0.8c O Square root B = 8.5cm r
WB 5 sector area A plot of land is in the shape of a sector of a circle of radius 55m. The length of fencing that is needed to enclose the land is 176m. Calculate the area of the plot of land. The length of the arc must be 66m (adds up to 176 total) = 66 55 = 1.2c = r l Put the numbers in Divide by 55 A 55m 1 2 = r 2 A 66m 1.2c O Put the numbers in 1 55 2 55m = 2 A B (We need to work out the angle first) A= 2 1815 m Now do skills 251
