Circular Functions

1. The document discusses circular functions and how to find their exact values using reference angles. It also discusses how to calculate the length of an arc, area of a sector, and the ratio of the area of a sector to the area of a region bounded by the sector and a chord. 2. Formulas are provided for calculating arc length, sector area, and converting between degrees and radians. Examples illustrate using the formulas to find arc length, sector area, and solving for an unknown angle measure. 3. The final example asks to find the ratio of the area of a sector to the area of a region bounded by the sector and a chord in an isosceles right triangle.

CIRCULAR

FUNCTIONS
OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, the
student is able to:
1. illustrate the different circular
functions;
2. use reference angles to find exact values
of circular functions.
ILLUSTRATION #1

Find the length of an arc


of a circle with radius 10
m that subtends a central
angle of 30⁰.
SOLUTION
Since the given central angle is in degrees,
we have to convert it into radian measure.
Then apply the formula for an arc length.
𝝅 𝝅
30 = 𝐫𝐚𝐝

𝟔 𝟑
ILLUSTRATION #2

A central angle 𝜽 in a circle


of radius 12 inches is
subtended by an arc of
length 27 inches. Find the
measure 𝜽 in degrees.
SOLUTION
SECTOR OF A CIRCLE
A sector of a circle is the portion of the
interior of a circle bounded by the initial
and terminal sides of a central angle and its
intercepted arc. It is like a “slice of pizza”.
Note that an angle with measure
𝟐𝝅 radians will define a sector that
corresponds to the whole “pizza”.
SECTOR OF A CIRCLE
Therefore, if a central angle of a
sector has measure 𝜽 radians, then the
𝜽
sector makes up the fraction of a
𝟐𝝅
complete circle. Since the area of a
𝟐
complete circle with radius 𝒓 is 𝝅𝒓 , we
have the formula:
SECTOR OF A CIRCLE
𝜽 𝟐 𝟏 𝟐
Area of a Sector = 𝝅𝒓 = 𝜽𝒓

SECTOR OF A CIRCLE

In a circle of radius 𝒓, the area 𝑨 of


a sector with a central angle with
measuring 𝜽 radians is given by
𝟏 𝟐
𝑨 = 𝝅𝒓 𝜽
𝟐
ILLUSTRATION #1

Find the area of a


sector with central
angle 60⁰ if the radius
of the circle is 3 m.
SOLUTION
First, we have to convert 60⁰ into radians.
Then apply the formula for computing the
area of a sector.

𝟔𝟎 = 𝐫𝐚𝐝
𝟏𝟖𝟎 𝟑

𝟏 𝟐 𝝅 𝟑𝝅 𝟐
𝑨= 𝟑 = 𝐦

ILLUSTRATION #2
A sprinkler on a golf course
fairway is set to spray water over a
distance of 70 ft. and rotates
through an angle of 120⁰. Find the
area of the fairway watered by the
sprinkler.
SOLUTION

𝟏𝟐𝟎 = 𝐫𝐚𝐝

ILLUSTRATION #3
Given isosceles right triangle ABC
with AC as the hypotenuse (as shown
in the figure), a circle with center at A
and radius AB intersects AC at D.
What is the ratio of the area of sector
BAD to the area of the region BCD?
SOLUTION

FIGURE: NOTE:
BAD = 45⁰

Let 𝒓 be the
radius AB
