Circular Measures Exercises

1. A radian is defined as the angle subtended by an arc of a circle that is equal in length to the circle's radius. A full circle equals 2π radians. 2. The formula to convert between radians and degrees is: π radians = 180 degrees. 1 radian = 180/π degrees, and 1 degree = π/180 radians. 3. The formula for arc length of a circle is: s = rθ, where r is the radius and θ is the angle measure in radians.
