Overview
• Radians for Angle Measurement
• Radian Measure of Standard Angles
• Converting
Why Radians?
• Degrees are a bit artificial, radians refer to an actual measure
• Definition: If we put the vertex of an angle at the center of a
circle of radius r and let s be the arc length intercepted, then
the angle, is defined as
= s/r
• Because of the definition, angle is now related to a
measureable quantity, that is the ratio of two lengths, s and r

Radians
• Now, lets make some sense of this:
– The arc whose length is the entire circle is the
circumference
– The circumference is 2 r
– Therefore, the angle that encompasses the whole circle
is 2 , which in degree measure is 360
• Bottom line, the angle of a whole circle is 2 ;
from that you can determine all other angle measures
Therefore:
• Find the angle measure in radians of the following:

Converting:
• Let d be an angle in degrees and be its measure in radians
• 180 degrees is
• Need to have 180/d be the same as / , or
d/180 = /
• This is the same as /180 = /d
•

Example
• Find 36 deg in radians:
36/180 = /
36/180 = 1/5 = 0.2
So = 0.2
• We will not ask you to do much converting, but you will need
to learn the common angles in radians

Arc Length Example
If a circle has radius 8 cm, and the arc length is 18 cm, what is
the radian measure of an angle ?
= s/r = 18/8 = 9/4 = 2.25 rad
272727
Some More Examples
Find the radian measure of the angle with arc s and
circle radius r
• s = 24 m, r = 4 m
• s = 10 ft, r = 10 ft
• s = 5.2 mm, r = 2.6 mm
• s = 11 cm, r = 20 m
282828
Example (Solutions)
Find the radian measure of the angle with arc s and
circle radius r
• s = 24 m, r = 4 m; = 6
• s = 10 ft, r = 10 ft; = 1
• s = 5.2 mm, r = 2.6 mm; = 2
• s = 11 cm, r = 20 m; equivalent to 11 cm and 2000 cm:
= 11/2000
Sector Area
• The area of a sector is the portion of a circle with angle and
radius r
– A whole circle has area r2
– The area of a sector of angle is r2/2
• Think about it. This formula gives the following for a circle of
radius 1:
– Angle , half circle, area = r2/2
– Angle 2 , whole circle, area = r2
– Angle /4, 1/8 of a circle, area = r2/8
29

Summary
• We can convert from radians to degrees and vice versa: The
key is that 360 degrees is 2 radians
• Arc length is r , where is in radians
• Sector area is r2/2

3131
Angular Velocity
Angular velocity equals the amount of rotation per unit time
• Often designated as (omega)
• = / t, the angle per time
For example, a Ferris wheel rotating at 10 revolutions per minute
has angular velocity of
= / t
= 10 revolutions/min
each revolution is 2 rad
= 10 (2 ) / 1 min = 20 rad/min
31
3232
Linear Velocity
Linear velocity is distance traveled (or change in position)
per unit time
D = r t, r = D / t
For angular motion, the distance D is the length of the arc, s
rate = v = s / t
Since s = r , v = r / t = r ( / t ) = r
Linear velocity v = r
32
3333
Example
A point P rotates around the circumference of a circle with radius
r = 2 ft at a constant rate. If it takes 5 sec to rotate through an
angle of 510,
a. What is the angular velocity of P
b. What is the linear velocity of P
33
3434
Solution
a. 510 = 510 ( / 180 )
= (510/180) = 17/6
= / t = (17/6) / 5 = (17/30) rad/sec
b. V = r = 2ft (17/30 ) = (17/15) ft/ sec
34
3535
More Examples

• = 300 , t = 5 hr
35
3636
Solutions
Covert to radians, = angle / time
• = 540 , t = 9 yr; 540 = 540 / 180 = 3 , = /3 rad/yr
• = 270 , t = 12 min; = /8 rad/min
• = 690 , t = 5 sec; = 23 / 30 rad/sec
• = 300 , t = 5 hr; = /3 rad/hr

Example
Using Angular Velocity to Determine Linear Velocity
The wheels on a bicycle have a radius of 13 in. How fast, mph, is
the cyclist going if the wheels turn at 300 rpm?
= 300 rev/min = 300 (2 ) / min = 600 /min
V = r = 13 in (600 /min)
1 mile = 5280 ft x 12 in /ft, 1 hour = 60 min
V = 13 in (600 /min) (60 min/hr) ( 1 mi / (5280 x 12 in)
V = 23.2 mph

of the smaller, and the angular speed of the smaller in rpm
• 3000 pi rad/min
• 54000 pi cm/min
• 10800 pi cm/min; the linear velocity has to be the same; v=r.
54000/5 = 10800

Chapter 7.4
Algebra and the Trig Functions
78
Notation
• sin of the quantity a is written sin a or sin (a); parentheses are
not required
• When the argument of sin is an expression parentheses are
required: sin of the quantity (a + b) is written sin(a+b)
• The expression sin2a means (sin a)(sin a)
• The expression sin2 (a+b) means (sin(a+b))(sin(a+b))
• The expression sin (a+b) 2 means sin of the quantity (a+b)2 ,
the function is not squared, only its argument
79
Manipulating Trig Functions
• Add sin a and 1/cos a
• Simplify (Sec a + 1)/ (sin + tan)
80
Solution
• Add sin a and 1/cos a
find a common denominator: (sin a cos a + 1)/cos a
• Simplify (Sec a + 1)/ (sin a+ tan a)
Replace sec and tan by sin and cos
(1/cos a + 1) / (sin a + sin a / cos a)
Multiply top and bottom by cos a
(1 + cos a)/(sin a cos a + sin a)
This becomes 1+cos 𝑎
(sin 𝑎)(1+cos 𝑎)= 1/sin a or csc a
81
Using identities to calculate functions
• Sin a = 2/3 in the second 2nd quad, find cos a and tan a
82
Solution
• Sin a = 2/3 in the second 2nd quad, find cos a and tan a
• 1 – sin2 a = cos2 a = 1-4/9 = 5/9
• Cos2 a = 5/9 or cos a = 5 /3
83
Example
• Simplify sin a/cos a + cos a/sin a
84
Solution
• Simplify sin a/cos a + cos a/sin a
• Get a common denominator, sin a cos a
• (sin2 a + cos2 a )/(sin a cos a) = 1/(sin a cos a)
85
Example
• cos a/(1-sin a) = (1+sin a)/cos a
86
Solution
• cos a/(1-sin a) = (1+sin a)/cos a
• Multiply both sides by cos a (1 – sin a) to remove the
denominators
• cos2 a = 1 – sin2 a which is the Pythagorean identity
• Note, in this case we manipulated both sides of the equation.
We could have worked with just one.
87
Examples
• 1/sin a – sin a = cot a cos a
88
Solution
• 1/sin a – sin a = cot a cos a
• Get rid of cot and get the left a common denominator
• (1 – sin2 a)/sin a = cos2 a / sin a
• Holds by Pythagorean identity
89
Example
• (cos a – sin a)2 + 2sin a cos a = 1
90
Solution
• (cos a – sin a)2 + 2sin a cos a = 1
• Multiply out parentheses
• Cos2 a + sin2 a – 2 sin a cos a + 2 sin a cos a = 1
• By Pythagoras becomes:
• 1 + 0 = 1
91
Example
• Tan a tan b = (tan a + tan b)/(cot a + cot b)
92
Solution
• Tan a tan b = (tan a + tan b)/(cot a + cot b)
• Eliminate the denominator
tan a tan b(cot a + cot b) = tan a + tan b
• Multiply left side out, remembering tan a cot a = 1
the left becomes tan b + tan a, which is the right
93
How to prove isn’t identity
• Show cos A + cos B = cos (A+B) is not an identity
• To prove something isn’t an identity, only need to show that it
doesn’t work for one value!
94
Solution
• Show cos A + cos B = cos (A+B) is not an identity
• Try A = B = 60 deg, cos 60 = ½
• Does ½ + ½ =1 = cos 120? Cos 120 is – cos 60 = - ½ NO
95
Which is an identity?
• (Csc a – cot a) = (1 + cos a)(1-cos a)
• Cot a + sin a/(1+cos a) = csc a
96
Solution
• (Csc a – cot a) = (1 + cos a)(1-cos a)
The right side becomes 1 – cos2a = 1,
the left is (1- cos a)/sin a; there are many values for
which that is not = 1; Not an identity
• Cot a + sin a/(1+cos a) = csc a
Simplify by multiplying by sin a
cos a + sin2 a/(1 + cos a) = 1
• Replace sin2 a by (1-cos2 a)
• We have cos a + 1 – cos a on the left which = 1
97
What you need to know
• Notation: sin2 a vs sin a2
• Need to be comfortable in manipulating trig functions to prove
identities
• Need to be able to disapprove identities by substituting a
value

90 º W longitude. Find the distance between cities, in km, if
the radius of the earth is 6000 km, Memphis is at 35º north,
and New Orleans is at 29.6º.

Solution
• Assume Memphis is in directly north of New Orleans, at
90 º W longitude. Find the distance between cities, in km, if
the radius of the earth is 6000 km, Memphis is at 35º north,
and New Orleans is at 29.6º.
Angle is 35º - 29.6 º = 5.4º
5.4º (/180) = 0.094 rad
Radius is 6000 km,
so arclength is 6000 ( 0.094) = 565 km
