Vocabulary and Definitions • A central angle of a circle is an angle with a vertex at the center of the circle. • An intercepted arc is the arc that is “captured” by the central angle.
Vocabulary and Definitions • When the central angle intercepts an arc that has the same length as a radius of the circle, the measure of the angle is defined as a radian. r r Like degrees, radians measure the amount of rotation from the initial side to the terminal side of the angle.
The “Magic” Proportion This proportion can be used to convert to and from Degrees to Radians. Write a proportion. Degrees° 180° 45° 180° = = Write the cross-products. r radians radians r radians radians 45 • = 180 • r 45 • 180 r = Divide each side by 45. 4 = 0.785 Simplify. Example: Find the radian measure of angle of 45°. An angle of 45° measures about 0.785 radians.

1 4 Since one complete rotation (orbit) takes 4 h, the satellite completes of a rotation in 1 h. Radian Measure Another satellite completes one orbit around Earth every 4 h. The satellite orbits 2900 km above Earth’s surface. How far does the satellite travel in 1 h? Step 1: Find the radius of the satellite’s orbit. r = 6400 + 2900 Add the radius of Earth and the distance from Earth’s surface to the satellite. = 9300
