  2. Objectives Use proportions to convert angle measures from degrees to radians.

  3. Vocabulary radian

  4. One unit of measurement for angles is degrees, which are based on a fraction of a circle. Another unit is called a radian, which is based on the relationship of the radius and arc length of a central angle in a circle. Four concentric circles are shown, with radius 1, 2, 3, and 4. The measure of each arc is 60°.

  5. π π 3 3 60° 360° The relationship between the radius and arc length is linear, with a slope of 2π = , or about 1.05. The slope represents the ratio of the arc length to the radius. This ratio is the radian measure of the angle, so 60° is the same as radians.

  6. If a central angle θ in a circle of radius r intercepts an arc of length r, the measure of θ is defined as 1 radian. Since the circumference of a circle of radius r is 2πr, an angle representing one complete rotation measures 2π radians, or 360°. 2π radians = 360° and π radians = 180° and 1 radian = 1° = π radians 180° π radians 180° Use these facts to convert between radians and degrees.

  7. Remember! Arc length is the distance along an arc measured in linear units. In a circle of radius r, the length of an arc with a central angle measure m is L = 2πr m° 360°

  8. Example 1: Converting Degrees to Radians Convert each measure from degrees to radians. A. 85° 17 π π = = 17 85° 1 90° 36 2 A. 90° π radians π radians 180° 36 180° 2

  9. Helpful Hint Because the radian measure of an angle is related to arc length, the most commonly used angle measures are usually written as fractional multiples of π.

  10. Check It Out! Example 1 Convert each measure from degrees to radians. A. –36° π 3π = - = -1 -36° 5 2 B. 270° π radians π radians 180° 5 180° 2 3 270°

  11. Example 2: Converting Radians to Degrees Convert each measure from radians to degrees. 2π π A. B. 3 6 π 2 π radians radians = 30° = 120° 1 6 1 3 60 180° 30 180° Π radians Π radians
