1-3 Radian Measure
Just as distance can be measure in inches, feet, miles, centimeters and so on, rotations about a point can also be measured in different ways. Measuring one complete rotation in terms of 360o is somewhat arbitrary.
A common unit of angle measurement that is an alternative to degrees is called the radian. It is defined in terms of the arc length of a circle and the circle’s radius.
[pic]
Radians measure the total number of radii that have been traversed about the circumference of a circle in a given rotation. Based on the circumference formula of a circle, there will always be [pic] radians in one full rotation.
Example: Find the arc length if the radius of a circle is 2 units and [pic] radian.

5. Determine the number of radians that the minute hand of a clock passes through if it has a length of 5 inches and its tip travels a total distance of 13 inches.
6. A golfer swings a club about a pivot point. If the head of the club travels a distance of 26 feet and rotates through an angle of 5 radians, which of the following gives the distance the club head is from the pivot point?

(2) 2.6 feet (4) 7.2 feet
7. In a circle, a central angle of [pic] radians subtends an arc of 3 centimeters. Find the length, in centimeters, of the radius of the circle.

1-5 Reciprocal Trigonometric Functions
In a right triangle, there are actually six possible trigonometric ratios, or functions.
A Greek letter (such as theta [pic]or phi [pic]) will be used to represent the angle.

Notice that the three new ratios above are reciprocals of the ratios on the left. Applying a little algebra shows the connection between these functions.
