6.3 Radian Measure
A 2nd way to measure the rotation of an angle is to use RADIANS.
When the terminal arm rotates around a circle the same
distance as the radius of the arm, then the angle created has the
measure of 1 RADIAN.
r s
When s=r in length then the angle
has the measure of 1 radian.

What is the formula for the circumference of a circle.
C= ________This can be thought of as C=_____radians.
This is equivalent to 360°, as both represent a complete rotation
of a circle.
Therefore 180° is equivalent to _____radians.
What would 90° be in radians? _____

If 360° = 2 r
Divide both sides by 2 to find the degree equivalent
for 1 radian.
Divide both sides by 360° to find the radian equivalent
for 1 degree.
Since every radian is equivalent to we therefore have
a formula to change radians to degrees.
Ex) Change the following radian measures into degrees:
a)
b)
c)

Since every degree has a radian equivalent of then
we have a formula to change degrees into radians.
Change the following degree measures into radians:
a) 45°
b) 160°
c) 360° (This should be NO suprise!)
d) 500°

In Grade 11, we learned cosine (x) , sine (y), and tangent values
for 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90° positions around the unit circle.
We now switch these positions to radian measure. These angles need
to be memorized. (i.e: You need to know that 150° is without
using the conversion formula)
Often written
Notice that the tangent
values are not included
on this diagram but need
to be learned as well!

The final topic involves the ARC length around the outside
of a circle (denoted as "s")
r s
Remember from the beginning
of this lesson that if s=r, then angle
has the measure 1 radian.
Therefore if s=10cm and r=5cm
what would be the angle size?
,,,if s=20cm and r=5 then =____
We arrive at the following ratio:
This ratio is called the Arc Length ratio and is often denoted
This ratio requires the angle to be in RADIANS!
