iol CIRCULAR ‘ MEASURE scam on the sight shows two sectors marked on a dartboard with radit 10 cm and 20 em and their respective are lengtis of 10 cm and 20 em, Since each are length is the same length as its radius, the angle subtended at the ceatre of the cirsle is defined as 1 radian. That is, the size of the angle subtended by both ares atthe centre of the circle should be the same What can you say about the measurement of the angle of 1 radian? & Relating angle measurement in radians and degrees Rte In circular measures, the normal unit used t measure angles is in degrees. However, in some mathematical disciplines circular + "Rad'stands for Radian. measures indegrees are less suitable, Therefore, a new unit + Vradean be written 251 called the midian is itroduced to measure the size of an angle ot ot ‘The activity below will explain the definition of ane radian and atthe same time relates angles measured in degrees to those measured in radians, rz cD fo explain the definition of one radian and then relate angles measured fl in radians to angles in degrees Steps: i 1, Scan the QR code on the right or visit the link below it SebARI ve 2, Each group is required to do each of the following activites by recording the angle subtended at the centre of the circle. ‘Drag slkler a such that the length of thearc, is the same length as the radius of the circle, r, ‘Drag slider a such that the length of the arc sis twice the length of the radius of the circle, ‘Drag slter a such that the length of the are, is three times the length of the radius of the eile, r Drag slider @ such that the length of the arc,» is the length of the semicircle, ‘Drag slider a such that the arc length, s isthe length of the circumference of the circle, 3. Bused on the results obtained, define an angle of 1 radian. "Then, relate radians to degrees for the angle subtended at the centre of the circle. 4. From this relation, estimate an angle of 1 radian in degrees and an angle of 1° in rad.ans, Discuss your answer Ga
