Learning Guide Card (LGC) # 1
Arc Length
The length of an arc on a circle of radius r is equal to
the radius multiplied by the angle θ subtended by the arc
in radians. Using s to denote arc length we have s = rθ.
This should actually be intuitive since the arc length on
the unit circle is equivalent to the angle in radians.

Engagement Activity 2
Learning Guide Card (LGC) # 1
The figure below shows arc length between points A
and B on the circle. Since we are looking at a length, we
always consider the angle θ subtended by A and B to be
positive. (In each of the next two figures, both and can be
moved.)

Engagement Activity 3
Learning Guide Card (LGC) # 1

Recall that the area of a circle of radius is given by A =

A circular sector is a wedge made of a portion of a
circle based on the central angle θ (in radians) subtended
by an arc on the circle. Since the angle around the entire
circle is 2π radians, we can divide the angle of the sector's
central angle by the angle of the whole circle 2π to
determine the fraction of the circle we are solving for.
Then multiply by the area of the whole circle to derive the
sector area formula.

Problem 3 (Group 5 & Group 6): Linear Speed v. Angular
speed
 
Our earlier “obvious” equation s = rθ, relating arc to angle,
also works with measurements of speed. The angular speed
of an spinning object is measured in radians per unit of
time. The linear speed is the speed a particle on the
spinning circle, measure in linear units (feet, meters) per
unit of time.

Circle and radius are one of the terms used

in this lesson has many real-life connections.
A circle is a line forming a closed-loop; every
point on which is a fixed distance from a
center point.

Unlike other shapes, a circle has a unique

property of being complete. A circle has an
extensive meaning; it represents wholeness,
totality, original perfection, eternity, infinity,
timelessness, self, and all the cyclic
movement.

Circle implies the idea of a movement and symbolizes
the cycle of time - the perpetual motion of everything
that moves like the planet's journey around the sun and
the rhythm of the universe. Many people believe that if
they have God in them, they are complete, and people
who feel complete are stronger and happier

The distance from the center to any point

of the circle is known as the radius. Each unit
or radius of the circle helps the circle to resist
giving into forces putting pressure on it from
the outside.

Similarly, each of this unit is a person's faith.

Plenty of this strengthens the grip so as not

progression from birth and growth to decline
