6.1: Angles and their measure
January 5, 2008
Objectives
• Learn basic concepts about angles• Apply degree measure to problems• Apply radian measure to problems• Calculate arc length• Calculate the area of a sector
What is an angle?
• An angle is formed by rotating a ray around its end point.
• Important terms:– Initial side: starting
position of the ray– Terminal side: the final
position of the ray– Positive measure: ray is
rotated counterclockwise– Negative measure: ray is
rotated clockwise
Degree measure
• One complete rotation is 360°.
• 90° is a right angle.• 180° is a straight
angle.• Symbols used to
denote angles:– Alpha - α– Beta - β– Theta - θ
Important angle terms
• Complementary angles add to be 90°.
• Supplementary angles add to be 180°.
• Acute angles 0<θ<90.• Obtuse angles
90<θ<180.• Coterminal angles:
angles with the same terminal side.
Radian measure
• The circumference of a circle is 2π.
• Therefore, one rotation of ray is 2π radians.
• To convert from degrees to radians..Multiply degrees by π/180°
• To convert from radians to degrees..Multiply radians by 180°/π
• 2π = 360°• π = 180°• π/2 = 90°• π/3 = 60°• π/4 = 45°• π/6 = 30°
Try these
Degree to radian
120°
150°
200°
320°
Radian to degree
2π/5
3π/4
7π/5
6π/5
Arc length
• Arc length
s= rθ• θ must be in radian
measure.
Try it
A circle has a radius of 4. Find the length of an arc intercepted by a central angle of 60°.
Try this one
A circle has a radius of 12. The arc length of a certain angle is 4. Find the central angle.
Area of a sector
• Area of a sector
A= (1/2)r2 θ• θ must be in radian
measure.
Try it
A circle has a radius of 5. Find the area of the sector if the central angle is 75°.
Your assignment
1,2 – sketching angles
21-26 – complementary and supplementary
35-38 – find the central angle
43, 44 – converting from degrees to radians
47-52 – find the missing value (arc length)
65-68 – area of a sector
