Lesson 3 More “Sine” Language Solidify Understanding

Ready

1.

The circle has been divided into equal portions. Explain the meaning of each number in the equation .

a circle is sliced into 12 even sections. the angle of each section at the center point is labeled radian.

In Math II, we learned how to find the arc length of a portion of a circle when we are given the measure of the intercepted arc in degrees and the radius of the circle. We can find the fraction of the circle using , where is the measure of the intercepted arc. Then multiply the fraction of the circle times the circumference or .

Use the information in each drawing to find the length of the intercepted arc on the circle.

Set

A right triangle has been drawn from a point on a circle centered at . The angle of rotation, , has been drawn between the initial ray and the terminal ray.

  • Write the value of sine as defined in today’s lesson. (You will need to find the radius.)

  • Use right angle trig to solve for angle inside the triangle.

  • Use the measure of to find (the angle of rotation).
