Radians
Since a radian is the angle between two radii with an arc
length equal to the radius, there are 2p
radians in one complete circle.
1. Use a calculator to complete the table
of q in degrees and radians, sin q, cos
q, and tan q when q has values in
degrees shown in the table:
|
q degree
|
q in radians
|
sin q
|
cos q
|
tan q

When q
(in radians) is small what are suitable approximations for:
sin q,
tan q, cos q?
