Circular Functions 2

1) Angles can be measured in degrees, radians, or other units. A full rotation is 360 degrees or 2π radians. 2) The standard position of an angle places its vertex at the origin and initial side on the positive x-axis of a coordinate plane. 3) Arc length is directly proportional to the radius and central angle measure, by the formula s = rθ, where s is arc length, r is radius, and θ is the central angle in radians.

1 ANGLE MEASURE
Angles:
In Geometry, angle is defined as a union of two rays and
has a measure between 0o and 180o.

In Trigonometry, angle is defined in terms of the


rotation of a ray. It has no limit.
Angles in trigonometry:
1. An angle has an initial and terminal side.
2. An angle is positive if the ray rotates in the
counterclockwise direction.
An angle is negative if the ray rotates in the clockwise
direction.
3. An angle is in standard position if its vertex lies at the
origin of the rectangular coordinate system and its initial
side is along the positive x – axis.
4. The quadrant of an angle in standard position is the
same as the quadrant where its terminal side lies.
5. The units of angle measures are degrees, minutes,
seconds (DMS), decimal degrees, revolutions and
radians:
1o = 1/360 of the circumference of the circle
1’ = 1/60 of 1o
1” = 1/60 of 1’

or 1o = 60’ = 3600” 1 rev = 360o


1’ = 60”
* DMS can be converted directly to decimal degrees
using the calculator (and vice-versa).

6. The unit circle is a circle with radius of 1 unit


(ex. 1 cm, 1 in, 1 ft, 1 m, …)

7. A central angle is an angle whose vertex is at the


center of the circle.
8. Angle measure of 1 radian:
- One radian(rad) is the measure of a central angle
subtended by an arc of a circle that is equal to the
radius of the circle.

- If there’s no indicated unit, the unit is understood to


be radian.

Ex. 7 - means 7 radians


π - means π radians or 3.14 radians
- How many degrees are there in 1 radian?
(Use 2π radians = 360o )
1 radian = 57.3o
π radian = 180o (or π = 180o )

In a circle of radius r, illustrate an angle that measures:


1. π radian 4. 4 radians
2. 1 radian 5. 2π
3. 2 radians 6. 1.5π
9. To convert radians to degrees, multiply the radians
by 180o
π
Examples:
a. 5π x 180o = 900 o c. -5π x 180o = -300 o
π 3 π

b. 3π x 180o = 135 o d. 6.28 x 180o = 360 o


4 π π
10. To convert degrees to radians, multiply the degrees
by π .
180o
Examples:
a. 135o x π = 3π c -450o x π = -5π
180o 4 180o 2

b. 300o x π = 5π d. 225o x π = 5π
180o 3 180o 4
11. Special angles in standard position with the indicated
measures in degrees and radians:

12. Quadrantal angles - angles in standard position whose


terminal ray coincides with an axis. Its measure is a
multiple of 90o.

13. Coterminal angles - angles in standard position with a


common terminal side
Examples:
Find the angle coterminal with -380o that has a
measure:
a. Between 0o & 360o 340 o
b. Between -360o & 0o -20 o

Arc Length
In a circle of radius r , the length s of an arc
intercepted by a central angle with measure θ (in radian)
is given by:
s = rθ

Examples:
1. Find the length of an arc of a circle with radius of
10m that subtends a central angle of 30o.
2. A central angle in a circle of radius 4m is subtended
by an arc of length 6m. Find the measure of θ in radians
and degrees.

3. If the wheels of a bicycle, having a diameter of 20 in


made 100 rev, how far (in feet) has the bike traveled?
Exercises:
1. Find the length of an arc of a circle with radius of 12 m
that subtends a central angle of 120o.
2. A central angle in a circle of radius 8ft is subtended by
an arc of length 3m. Find the measure of θ in radians
and degrees.
3. Find the radius of a circle if a central angle of 200o
intercepts an arc whose length is 2m.
