Maam;

As a requirement for our subject M102 Trigonometry, propose a self-learning module

titled Relationship Among Arc Length, Central Angle, and Radius of a Circle. This module will be part
of the Project FREE Program of the Provincial Government of Tarlac, in partnership with SDO Tarlac
Province and Tarlac Starte University, for the academic year 2023–2024.

 Introductory Message
We have created this Self-Learning Module (SLM) so that you, our valued
students, can continue your education and learn at home. To ensure that you
thoroughly comprehend each lesson, all activities, questions, directions,
exercises, and conversations are clearly presented.

Every SLM is made up of various components. Every section will

walk you through the process of finding and comprehending the lesson
that has been prepared for you.

Pre-tests are offered to measure your past understanding of the

material covered in each SLM. This will indicate whether you should
continue finishing this module or whether you should seek help from
your facilitator or teacher to better comprehend the material. You must
complete the post-test at the conclusion of each module to assess your
own learning. There are answer keys available for every test and
activity. We believe you will use these with integrity.

Our facilitators and parents receive Notes to the Teacher in addition to the
content in the main text, which contains tips and reminders on how they may
support you in your home-based learning.

Use caution when using this module. Please do not annotate any portion of this
SLM with extra marks. When answering the tests and activities, use a different
sheet of paper. And before beginning any task, thoroughly read the directions.

Do not hesitate to speak with your teacher or facilitator if you need

assistance using this SLM or if you are having trouble completing the
assignments in this module.

Thank you.

Lesson 1. Radian Measure and Arc Length

What I Need to Know

This section discusses and illustrates the radian measure and

arc length of a circle.

You remember from geometry class that an angle's

intercepted arc measure equals the angle's central angle.
The angles in the unit circle in trigonometry are the rotation
angles, or more precisely, the angles in standard position.
These angles have the same measure as their intercepted
arc, but they are typically given in radians in trigonometry.

How is radian measured?

Do the following illustration:

1. Draw any circle. Measure its radius and make an exact

copy of it.

2
2. Imagine bending that copy of the segment along the
circumference of the circle.

3. Connect the end of the copy with a ray coming out from

angle 𝛼.
the center of the circle. This ray is the terminal side of

3
4. The central angle 𝛼 you created has a measure of 1
radian. That is, if 𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑢𝑠 = 𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑡ℎ of intercepted arc then
𝛼 = 1 𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑛.

4
Radians do not depend on the size of the circle. Regardless of the length of
the radius, as long as, it is equal to the angle’s intercepted arc, the central
angle is the same: 1 radian. See figures 6 and 7.

Figure 6. Circle with a 2- cm Radius Figure 7. Circle with a 3- cm Radius

The word “radian” was first used in print by Physicist James T. Thompson in
1873. It is an abbreviation of the phrase “radial angle” because its measure
is obtained from a radius along the circumference of the circle.

The Arc Length – Central Angle – Radius Relation

Illustration: How large is an angle if its intercepted arc is twice the radius
of the circle?

5
Since the intercepted arc of the central angle 𝛼 is twice the radius of the

circle. Thus, 𝛼 = 2 radians (rad).

Example : Find the measure of a central angle that intercepts an arc length
of 3. 4
cm in a circle of radius of 1.21 cm.

𝑠 = 3.4 𝑐 𝑚

𝑟 = 1.21 𝑐𝑚

𝜃 = 3.4𝑐𝑚

1.21𝑐𝑚 (The centimeter units cancel out.)

Note: When no unit is given for an angle measure, it is understood to be a

radian
measure.

intercepted by

Solution:

 𝑟 = 20.2 𝑐𝑚
𝜃 = 14.2 𝑟𝑎𝑑
𝑠=?
𝜃=
s

Since, we want 𝑠, we do the cross multiplication (multiply 𝑟 and 𝜃). Thus, s

r

= θr.
Substitute the given in the formula.

s = 20.2 (14.2)

s = 286.84 cm Ans

Note: The unit for 𝑠 is determined by the unit for 𝑟 because θ is given in
radian.

Example : Find the measure of a circle in which a central angle of 5 radians

intercepts
an arc of length 6 m.

Solution:

𝜃 = central ∠ = 5 𝑟𝑎𝑑
Given:

𝑠=6𝑚
𝜃=
s

Since we want 𝑟, we do the cross multiplication (multiply 𝑟 and 𝜃). We get

𝜃𝑟 = 𝑠. Divide
both sides of the equation by 𝜃. Thus, 𝑟 =

Note: The unit for 𝑟 is determined by the unit of s.

Lesson 2. Converting Degree Measure to Radian Measure

What I Need to Know

This section discusses how a degree measure is converted to a radian

measure, and
vice versa.

This tells us that we can express degree measure into radian measure and
vice versa.

Example : Convert 300 to radian measure.
