- What is the radius of a unit circle? - How is radian measure defined using arc length and radius? - Check whether the numerical value changes when the radius is \(1\).

1. Radian measure is the arc length divided by the circle's radius. 2. The radius of a unit circle is \(1\), so the angle measure is \(\frac{1.3}{1}=1.3\) radians.

\(1.3\) radians. On a unit circle, the radian measure equals the intercepted arc length.

- Recall how radian measure is defined on a unit circle. - The circle's radius is \(1\), so compare the numerical arc length directly with the angle measure.

\(\frac{5\pi}{6}\) radians

- Focus on the definition of one radian rather than a degree conversion. - Ask what ratio of arc length to radius gives an angle measure of \(1\).

- Start with the circumference of a circle whose radius is \(1\). - What fraction of that circumference is intercepted? - On a unit circle, how is intercepted arc length related to radian measure?

1. The circumference of a unit circle is \(2\pi\). 2. One quarter of that circumference has length \(\frac{1}{4}\cdot 2\pi=\frac{\pi}{2}\). 3. On a unit circle, arc length equals radian measure, so the angle measures \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) radians.

\(\frac{\pi}{2}\) radians

- Use the dashed radius as the \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) benchmark. - Compare where each terminal radius falls relative to that benchmark. - On a unit circle, a larger counterclockwise intercepted arc means a larger radian measure.

1. In panel a), the terminal radius lies before the dashed \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) radius, so the marked angle is less than \(\frac{\pi}{2}\). 2. In panel b), the terminal radius lies beyond the dashed \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) radius, so the marked angle is greater than \(\frac{\pi}{2}\). 3. The marked angle in panel b) cuts off a longer counterclockwise arc on the unit circle, so it has the larger radian measure.

a) Less than \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) b) Greater than \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) c) Panel b) has the larger radian measure because it intercepts the longer unit-circle arc.

- Start with the circumference of the unit circle. - Take the stated fraction of that circumference. - Connect the resulting arc length to radian measure.

1. The circumference of a unit circle is \(2\pi\). 2. Three quarters of the circumference is \(\frac{3}{4}\cdot 2\pi=\frac{3\pi}{2}\). 3. On a unit circle, intercepted arc length equals radian measure, so the angle measures \(\frac{3\pi}{2}\) radians.

\(\frac{3\pi}{2}\) radians

- On a unit circle, what quantity has the same numerical value as the radian measure? - A semicircle corresponds to half of a circumference of \(2\pi\). - Compare \(2.4\) with that benchmark rather than converting units.

1. On a unit circle, arc length equals radian measure, so the intercepted arc has length \(2.4\) units. 2. A semicircle on a unit circle has arc length \(\pi\), and \(2.4<\pi\). 3. Therefore, the angle is less than a semicircle.

a) \(2.4\) units b) Less than a semicircle, because \(2.4<\pi\).

- Radian measures can be ordinary real numbers as well as multiples of \(\pi\). - Use the unit-circle definition directly. - Check what arc length would correspond to a full turn before accepting \(2\pi\).

1. A radian measure does not have to be written as a multiple of \(\pi\). 2. On a unit circle, the numerical radian measure equals the intercepted arc length. 3. Therefore, an angle of \(2\) radians intercepts an arc of length \(2\) units, not \(2\pi\) units.

The error is assuming every radian measure must contain \(\pi\). The intercepted arc length is \(2\) units.

- Convert complete rotations directly to radians using one full turn. - Think of the total swept angle, not only the final terminal position. - On a unit circle, connect total radian measure with total arc length traveled.

1. One complete rotation is \(2\pi\) radians. 2. The total angle is \(2.5\cdot 2\pi=5\pi\) radians. 3. On a unit circle, total arc length equals the total radian measure, so the traveled arc length is \(5\pi\) units.

a) \(5\pi\) radians b) \(5\pi\) units

- Use approximate sizes of the standard radian benchmarks rather than changing units. - Compare \(2.2\) first with \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) and \(\pi\). - Connect the interval between those benchmarks with a quadrant on the unit circle.

1. \(\frac{\pi}{2}\approx1.57\) and \(\pi\approx3.14\). 2. Since \(1.57<2.2<3.14\), the angle lies between \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) and \(\pi\). 3. Therefore, its terminal side is in Quadrant II.

It lies between \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) and \(\pi\), so its terminal side is in Quadrant II.

- Use the dashed half-turn radius as the \(\pi\) benchmark. - Compare the terminal radius with the downward direction corresponding to three quarters of a turn. - The angle is measured counterclockwise from the starting radius.

1. The dashed radius marks a half-turn, or \(\pi\) radians. 2. The terminal radius is past that half-turn but before the downward radius that would mark \(\frac{3\pi}{2}\). 3. Therefore, \(\pi<\theta<\frac{3\pi}{2}\).

\(\theta\in(\pi,\frac{3\pi}{2})\)

- Identify the two standard radian directions that bound the terminal radius. - The terminal radius is halfway between those two directions. - Compare each answer choice with a half-turn and a three-quarter turn.

1. The terminal radius is in Quadrant III, halfway between \(\pi\) and \(\frac{3\pi}{2}\). 2. The midpoint of those benchmark angles is \(\frac{\pi+\frac{3\pi}{2}}{2}=\frac{5\pi}{4}\). 3. Therefore, the marked angle is \(\frac{5\pi}{4}\).

\(\frac{5\pi}{4}\)

- A full rotation is \(360^\circ\), or \(2\pi\) radians. - Convert radians to degrees by multiplying by \(\frac{180^\circ}{\pi}\). - Add or subtract full rotations to compare terminal sides. - Reduce each angle to the interval \([0^\circ, 360^\circ)\).

1. Multiply each radian measure by \(\frac{180^\circ}{\pi}\): \(x_1=60^\circ\), \(x_2=420^\circ\), \(x_3=-300^\circ\), and \(x_4=240^\circ\). 2. Coterminal angles differ by a multiple of \(360^\circ\), or equivalently by a multiple of \(2\pi\). 3. Since \(420^\circ-360^\circ=60^\circ\) and \(-300^\circ+360^\circ=60^\circ\), the angles \(x_1\), \(x_2\), and \(x_3\) have the same terminal side. The angle \(x_4=240^\circ\) has a different terminal side.

a) \(x_1=60^\circ\), \(x_2=420^\circ\), \(x_3=-300^\circ\), \(x_4=240^\circ\) b) \(x_1\), \(x_2\), and \(x_3\) have the same terminal side because their measures differ by integer multiples of \(360^\circ\). The angle \(x_4\) does not.

- Convert all angle measures to the same unit before comparing them. - The values explicitly labeled in radians are already in the comparison unit. - Use the \(\pi\) key on your calculator before rounding.

1. Express each angle as a decimal radian measure: - \(75^\circ \cdot \frac{\pi}{180^\circ} \approx 1.31\) - \(1.2\) is already in radians. - \(\frac{2\pi}{3} \approx 2.09\) - \(210^\circ \cdot \frac{\pi}{180^\circ} \approx 3.67\) - \(4\) is already in radians. 2. Compare the values: \(1.2 < 1.31 < 2.09 < 3.67 < 4\). 3. Match the decimal values to the original angles.

\(1.2\text{ radians} < 75^\circ < \frac{2\pi}{3}\text{ radians} < 210^\circ < 4\text{ radians}\)

- Convert every angle to the same unit before comparing. - Estimate with \(\pi \approx 3.14\) to check the relative sizes. - To convert radians to degrees, multiply by \(\frac{180^\circ}{\pi}\).

1. Convert each radian measure to degrees. 2. \(\alpha = 155^\circ\) is already in degrees. 3. \(\beta = 2.7\) radians gives \(2.7 \cdot \frac{180^\circ}{\pi} \approx 154.7^\circ\). 4. \(\gamma = \frac{5\pi}{6}\) radians gives \(\frac{5\pi}{6} \cdot \frac{180^\circ}{\pi} = 150^\circ\). 5. \(\delta = 2.8\) radians gives \(2.8 \cdot \frac{180^\circ}{\pi} \approx 160.4^\circ\). 6. Therefore, \(150^\circ < 154.7^\circ < 155^\circ < 160.4^\circ\).

\(\gamma < \beta < \alpha < \delta\)

- A point returns to the same location after a rotation of \(2\pi\). - Write a formula using integer multiples of \(2\pi\). - Test both positive and negative integer values. - Check every result against the interval endpoints.

1. All coterminal angles have the form \(\alpha=\frac{2\pi}{3}+2\pi k\), where \(k\) is an integer. 2. For \(k=-1\), \(\alpha=-\frac{4\pi}{3}\), which lies in the interval. 3. For \(k=0\), \(\alpha=\frac{2\pi}{3}\), which lies in the interval. 4. For \(k=1\), \(\alpha=\frac{8\pi}{3}\), which lies in the interval. 5. The next values, obtained with \(k=-2\) and \(k=2\), lie outside the interval.

\(\alpha \in \left\{-\frac{4\pi}{3}, \frac{2\pi}{3}, \frac{8\pi}{3}\right\}\)
