  1. Sullivan Algebra and Trigonometry: Section 6.1Angles and Their Measures • Objectives of this Section • Convert Between Degrees, Minutes, Seconds, and Decimal Forms for Angles • Find the Arc Length of a Circle • Convert From Degrees to Radians, Radians to Degrees • Find the Area of a Sector of a Circle • Find the Linear Speed of Objects in Circular Motion

  2. A ray, or half-line, is that portion of a line that starts at a point V on the line and extends indefinitely in one direction. The starting point V of a ray is called its vertex. V Ray

  3. If two lines are drawn with a common vertex, they form an angle. One of the rays of an angle is called the initial side and the other the terminal side. Terminal side Initial Side Vertex Counterclockwise rotation Positive Angle

  4. Terminal side Vertex Initial Side Clockwise rotation Negative Angle Terminal side Vertex Initial Side Counterclockwise rotation Positive Angle

  5. y Terminal side x Vertex Initial side

  6. y x When an angle is in standard position, the terminal side either will lie in a quadrant, in which case we say lies in that quadrant, or it will lie on the x-axis or the y-axis, in which case we say is a quadrantal angle. y x

  7. Angles are commonly measured in either Degrees or Radians The angle formed by rotating the initial side exactly once in the counterclockwise direction until it coincides with itself (1 revolution) is said to measure 360 degrees, abbreviated Terminal side Initial side Vertex

  8. Terminal side Vertex Initial side

  9. Terminal side Vertex Initial side

  10. y Vertex Initial side x Terminal side

  11. Consider a circle of radius r. Construct an angle whose vertex is at the center of this circle, called the central angle, and whose rays subtend an arc on the circle whose length is r. The measure of such an angle is 1 radian. r 1 radian

  12. For a circle of radius r, a central angle of radians subtends an arc whose length s is Find the length of the arc of a circle of radius 4 meters subtended by a central angle of 2 radians.

  13. The area A of the sector of a circle of radius r formed by a central angle measured in radians is Example: Find the area of the sector of the circle of radius 4 inches formed by an angle of 45 degrees.

  14. Suppose an object moves along a circle of radius r at a constant speed. If s is the distance traveled in time t along this circle, then the linear speedv of the object is defined as

  15. As the object travels along the circle, suppose that (measured in radians) is the central angle swept out in time t. Then the angular speed of this object is the angle (measured in radians) swept out divided by the elapsed time.

  16. To relate angular speed with linear speed, consider the following derivation.

  17. A car’s engine is running at 2000 rpm. If the length of each crank in the engine is 12 inches, find the linear speed of the piston.
