ACTIVITY:
Obj. 2: To learn what a radian is.
Constructing a 1 - Radian Angle
Materials: direction sheet, piece of paper, compass,
scissors, pipe cleaner, straightedge, pencil
Part I:
1. Use a compass and draw a large circle on a piece of paper.
2. Identify the circle (O) and draw a radius horizontally
from O toward the right, intersecting the circle at point A.
3. Cut a piece of pipe cleaner the same size as the radius.
(Be very precise with the length of the pipe cleaner being
exactly the same as the radius length)
4. Place one end of the pipe cleaner at A and bend it around
the circle counterclockwise, marking the point B on the circle
where the other end of the pipe cleaner ends.
5. Draw the radius from O to B. Shade
The measure of
AOB.
AOB is one radian.
6. In your own words, describe the measure of one radian:
_______________________________________________
_______________________________________________
Part II:
1. Label a point, C, on the circle where the m AOC is 2 radians.
2. Label a point, D, on the circle where the m AOD is 3 radians.
3. Label a point, E, on the circle where the m AOE is 4 radians.
5. Label a point, F, on the circle where the m AOF is 5 radians.
6. Label a point, G, on the circle where the m AOG is 6 radians.
Questions:
1. What is the formula for the circumference of the circle, in
terms of its radius, r?
1. _________
2. How many radians must there be in a complete circle?
2. _________
