Activity 2

1. The document describes an experiment to verify the relationship between degree and radian measures of an angle. 2. Students are instructed to draw a circle on cardboard, measure arc lengths using a thread, and then calculate the radian measure of angles formed using the radius and arc length. 3. They also measure the same angles in degrees using a protractor and record both measurements to calculate the ratio of radian to degree measures and verify that 1 radian is equal to approximately 57.27 degrees.

Activity 7

OBJECTIVE MATERIAL REQUIRED


To verify the relation between the Bangle, geometry box, protractor,
degree measure and the radian thread, marker, cardboard, white
measure of an angle. paper.

METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION
1. Take a cardboard of a convenient size and paste a white paper on it.
2. Draw a circle using a bangle on the white paper.
3. Take a set square and place it in two different positions to find diameters
PQ and RS of the circle as shown in the Fig.7.1 and 7.2

4. Let PQ and RS intersect at C. The point C will


be the centre of the circle (Fig. 7.3).
5. Clearly CP = CR = CS = CQ = radius.

DEMONSTRATION
1. Let the radius of the circle be r and l be an arc
subtending an angle θ at the centre C, as shown
l
in Fig. 7.4. θ = radians.
r

l
2. If Degree measure of θ = × 360 degrees
2πr

l l
Then radians = × 360 degrees
r 2πr
