    1) Radian measure is preferred over degree measure in advanced mathematics as it allows trigonometric functions to be treated as functions over real numbers rather than angles. 2) An angle that intercepts an arc of a circle equal in length to the radius of the circle has a measure of 1 radian. More generally, if an angle intercepts an arc of length s on a circle of radius r, the radian measure is s/r. 3) Conversions between degrees and radians use the relationships that 1 radian is equal to 180/π degrees, and 1 degree is equal to π/180 radians.

    Radian Measure

    In most applications of
    Rizal National Science High School
    trigonometry, angles are measured in
    Senior High School | First Semester degrees. In more advanced work in
    Pre-calculus: Trigonometry mathematics, radian measure of angles is
    preferred. Radian measure allows us to treat
    the trigonometric functions as functions
    with domains of real numbers, rather than
    angles.

    ANGLES AND The figure above shows an angle 𝜃 in standard position along
    with a circle of radius r. The vertex of 𝜃 is at the center of the circle.
    Because angle 𝜃 intercepts an arc on the circle equal in length to the
    radius of the circle, we say that angle 𝜃 has a measure of 1 radian.

    ANGLE MEASURE Radian


    An angle with its vertex at the center of a circle that intercepts an
    Definition of Terms arc on the circle equal in length to the radius of the circle has a
    measure of 1 radian.
    The measure of an angle is a number which indicates the
    amount of rotation that separates the rays of the angle.
    In general, if 𝜃 is a central angle of a circle of radius r and 𝜃
    𝑠
    intercepts an arc of length s, then the radian measure of 𝜃 is 𝑟.
    The initial position of the ray is called the initial side of the
    angle and the position of the ray at the endpoint is called terminal
    An arc length, 𝒔 is the distance between two points along a
    side. A clockwise rotation generates a negative angle while a
    circle expressed in linear units.
    counterclockwise rotation generates a positive angle.

    Exercise 1
    Angle in Standard Position
    Determine the angle (in radians) subtended at the center of a circle of
    radius 3 cm by each of the following arcs:
    An angle is in standard position of
    its vertex is the origin and the initial side
    a) arc of length 6 cm b) arc of length 3𝜋cm
    coincides with the positive 𝑥-axis.
    c) arc of length 15 cm d) arc of length 6𝜋cm
    Angles in standard position can be classified according to where their

    The circumference of a circle is given by 𝐶 = 2𝜋𝑟 where 𝑟 is Quadrantal Angles


    the radius of the circle. An angle of 360°, which corresponds to a If the terminal side of an angle lies on one of the coordinate
    complete circle, intercepts an arc equal in length to 2𝜋 times the axes, it is called a quadrantal angle. Examples of quadrantal angles
    radius of the circle. Thus, an angle of 360° has a measure of 2𝜋 are 900, 1800, 2700 and 3600.
    radians:
    360𝑜 = 2𝜋 radians Coterminal Angles
    Two angles in standard position are called coterminal angles
    Since, an angle of 180𝑜 is one-half the radian measure of an if they share the same terminal side. Examples of coterminal angles are

    angle 360 , then it follows that 300 and -3300, 450 and 3950 and the like. Angles coterminal with a
    given angle 𝜃 may be derived using the formula 𝜃 + 360𝑛 or 𝜃 + 2𝜋𝑛
    180𝑜 = 𝜋 radians for all integers n.
