Radian Worksheet Up to now we have worked with angles using only degrees. Today we'll look at another way of measuring angles. In addition to measuring the degrees between two rays in a circle, you can use the ratio of the arc length to the radius. In the unit circle, if we look at the arc formed by 360°, that would be the same as the circumference. Since c = 2xr and in the unit circle r , the circumference would be 2: In other words 360°=27. ‘The arc formed by 90° would be one-fourth of that or 7 A radian is the ratio of the arc length to the radius. What would happen if' we inereased the angle. 360° in terms of «. Then b) find the radians by taking the arc length divided the radius (leave in terms of 7) radius? For each given radius, a)find the are length ( 2xr(22)) of the circle at 90° and leave r angle, AreLength a) Are length 2ar b) Radi —S |__| 2 Melon ror pesceamal al = 2 5 10 i - | 20 50 Based on your data, what can you say about how the change in radius affects the radians at 90°? ‘To convert between radians and degrees go back to 2 = 360°. Solve this for 7. This is your conversion factor. Use it to convert between radians and degrees. For example, to change 30° to radians, we want to “cancel” degrees, degrees will go in the denominator of the conversion factor like this: so}Do the all of the following problems on a separate sheet of paper. For problems 1-10, find the radian measure of the following angles. 1. 60° 2.45° 3.270% 4.150% 5. 240° 6. 300° 7. -270° 8.3000° 9. -1080° 10. 2800° Now we'll change radians into degrees. Start with radians ‘You need to “cancel” the 1, so you would use the conversion factor like this; 2% {180° ™ Radians don’t always have 1 in them, but can also be expressed as decimals or fractions. In this case, you can distinguish them from degrees by the lack of a the degree symbol °. 120°. In other words, = = 120°. For problems 11-20, find the degree measure of the following radians. ut 12, 13, 7% 14.5% 15, 2% 6 4 6 a 2 wan a 18.628 19.25 20. 180 ‘If you haven’t done so, go to your purple Unit Circle sheet and add in the radians next to the angles on the front and the column on the back. When we use radians with trigonometric functions, we call them “Circular Functions”. We are still talking about sine, cosine, tangent, secant, cosecant, and cotangent. For problems 21-26, find the exact values of the six circular functions for the given radians. Do NOT use a calculator or your Unit Circle sheet! St, 3, Eg, 4 3 6 4 21.For problems 27-50 find the exact value of the trigonometric or circular function. Do this as quickly as you can without a calculator or your Unit Circle sheet. 27. sin 180° 28. sin 225° 29. cos 240° 30. cos 120° 31. tan 315° 32, tan 270° 33. cot 0° 34. cot 300° 35. sec 150° 36, sec 0° 37. esc 45° 38. csc 330° 39, sin = 40. sin 2 4. cos 3 6 4 x 3 42. cos — 43. tan 44. tan —- 4 4 45, cot ate 46. cot © 47. sec 20 « ir on 48. see 49. ese = 50.
