Radian Measure
Radian Measure
A.
Terminology
When a central angle (θ) intercepts the circumference
of a circle, the length of the piece subtended (cut off)
is called the arc length (s).
B.
C.
II.
The radian measure of an angle (θ) is the ratio
of the arc length (s) to the radius of the circle (r),
i.e. θ  s
r
If the arc length subtended by angle θ is equal to
the radius (i.e., when s = r), then θ has a measure
of 1 radian.
D.
Since a radian is defined as a ratio of two lengths, the units cancel and the measure is
considered unit-less. Therefore, if an angle measure is written with no degree symbol, it is
assumed to be in radians. Though it is not essential, it is often customary to write radians or
rads after an input measured in radians, especially when doing conversions and canceling
units.
E.
In many applications of trigonometry, radian measure is preferred over degree measure
because it simplifies calculation and allows us to use the set of real numbers as the domain
of the trig functions rather than just angles.
Converting Standard Angles Between Degrees and Radians

B.
It is absolutely essential that you know the equivalent degree and radian measures for all
standard angles. This is not difficult if you think of every standard angle as a multiple of one
1π
of our four special angles - 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90°. For example, if 30 

Applications of Radian Measure
Arc Length
The length (s) of the arc intercepted on a circle of radius (r) by a central angle θ (measured in
radians) is given by the product of the radius and the angle, i.e., s = r∙θ.
Caution: θ must be in radians to use this formula.
Example 1

r = 71.9 cm. (#10)

Example 3
A small gear and a large gear are meshed. An 80.0° rotation of the smaller gear
causes the larger gear to rotate 50.0°. Find the radius of the larger gear if the smaller
gear has a radius of 11.7 cm. (#22)

inches of the windshield did the blade clean? (#42)

Section 3.3
The Unit Circle and Circular Functions
I.
Introduction
In the 1600s, scientists began using trigonometry to solve problems in physics and engineering.
Such applications necessitated extending the domains of the trigonometric functions to include all
real numbers, not just a set of angles. This extension was accomplished by using a correspondence
between an angle and the length of an arc on a unit circle (a circle with a radius of 1, centered on
the origin, with equation x 2  y 2  1 ).
II.
The Unit Circle
Imagine that the real number line is wrapped around
a unit circle. Zero is at the point (1, 0); the positive
numbers wrap in a counterclockwise direction; and
the negative numbers wrap in a clockwise direction.
Each real number t corresponds to a point (x, y) on
the circle. If central angle θ, in standard position,
measured in radians, subtends an arc length of t, then
according to the arc length formula (s = r·θ), t = θ.
6
Ch 3 Notes F07 O’Brien
LHS Trig 8th ed
Thus, on a unit circle, the measure of a central angle and the length of its arc can both be
represented by the same real number, t.
III.
The Unit Circle Definitions of the Trigonometric Functions
If t is a real number and (x, y) is the point on the unit circle corresponding to t, then

cos t = x
sin t = y
tan t = , x  0

IV. Domains of the Circular Functions
Since x = 0 when
t
π
2
and
t
3π
2
, sec t and tan t, which both have x in the denominator, are not
defined there or at any odd multiple of
π
2
π
. Thus the domain of sec t and tan t is t | t  (2n  1)   .

2
Since y = 0 at t  0 , t  π , and t  2π , csc t and cot t, which both have y in the denominator, are
undefined at any integer multiple of π . Thus the domain of cot t and csc t is t | t  n  π.
Sine and cosine do not have any restrictions on their domain, thus their domain is  ,   .

The x-value of a point on the unit circle tells you cos t and the y-value tells you sin t.
The sign of the function values depends on where the angle terminates:
Quadrant I:
Quadrant II:
Quadrant III:
Quadrant IV:
x and y are both positive, therefore all function values are positive.
x is negative and y is positive, therefore only sine and cosecant are positive.
x and y are both negative, therefore only tangent and cotangent are positive.
x is positive and y is negative, therefore only cosine and secant are positive.

Linear and Angular Speed
I.
Arc Length
s  r θ
Alternate form: s  r  ω  t
For a circle with radius r and central angle θ measured in radians, if θ intercepts an arc length of s,
then s  r  θ .
Hint:
II.
For two pulleys connected by a belt or for two intermeshed gears, s1 must equal s 2 , so
r1  θ1  r2  θ 2 .

and v  r  ω

Consider a fly sitting on the tire of a bicycle. If we measure the linear distance (s) the fly travels
per unit of time (t), we are describing its linear speed (v). Linear speed is measures in units such
as miles per hour and feet per second.
III.
Angular Speed

Alternate form: ω 
s
rt
If we measure the angle (θ) the fly travels through per unit of time (t), we are describing its angular
speed (ω). Angular speed is measured in units such as radians per second and degrees per minute.
To convert revolutions per minute to an angular speed, we multiply by 2π since there are 2π
radians in one revolution. Note: The symbol for angular speed, ω, is the Greek letter omega.

IV. The Relationship between Linear Speed and Angular Speed
v  rω
The linear speed (v) and the angular speed (ω) of a point moving in a circular path with radius r are
related by the formula v  r  ω .
Hint:
For two pulleys connected by a belt or for two intermeshed gears, v1 must equal v 2 ,
so r1  ω1  r2  ω2 .
