1 Full Rotation 360 2 (Degrees) (Radians)

This document provides information about converting between degrees and radians and calculating arc length on a circle. It gives the formulas for converting degrees to radians as θ*(π/180) and radians to degrees as θ*(180/π). Examples are provided of converting angle measures between the two units. The formula for finding the measure of a central angle that intercepts an arc of a circle is given as θ = s/r, where s is the arc length and r is the radius. Several practice problems are provided to calculate arc lengths or angle measures given portions of the information.

Angle measure and arc length:

s
r

s: arc length
r: radius
: central angle measure (ALWAYS in radians)
Example:
5. Find the measure (in radians) of a central angle,, that intercepts an arc of length, 2cm, on a circle
with radius, 10cm.

6. Find the radius of a circle if the arc length is 80cm at an angle of 150o. Round to 2 decimal places.

7. Find the measure (in radians) of a central angle,, that intercepts an arc of length, 15cm, on a circle
with radius, 20cm.
