Lesson 4 · Arc length and sector area

Arcs and sectors

Arc =θ3602πr= \tfrac{\theta}{360} 2\pi r, sector =θ360πr2= \tfrac{\theta}{360}\pi r^2.

Watch out: circumference for arcs, area for sectors.

Lesson 5 · Radian measure and arc length

Radians

  • 180∘=π180^\circ = \pi rad.
  • Degrees → radians: ×π180\times \dfrac{\pi}{180}. Radians → degrees: ×180π\times \dfrac{180}{\pi}.
  • Arc length: s=rθs = r\theta, θ\theta in radians.

Watch out: never put degrees into s=rθs = r\theta.
