Definition of a Radian
Radian is the measure of the arc of a unit
circle.
Unit circle is a circle with a radius of 1.

• Complete steps 6-8, fill in the blanks
• Then starting with a fresh circle on the
back of your original circle, write in the
radian measurements
• Draw a fresh circle in your notes and
practice using the patterns of 4ths and
6ths.

How to use radians to find Arc length
The geometry way was to find the
circumference of the circle and multiply by
the fraction. Central angle

Linear speed and Angular speed
Linear speed is how fast a particle moves
along a circular arc.
Angular speed, is how fast the angle
changes.
• How do we calculate how fast we are
driving?
• mi/hr or the distance divided by the time
• The same idea applies to linear and
angular speed
