    1. A radian is defined as the angle subtended by an arc of a circle where the length of the arc is equal to the radius of the circle. 2. The formula to convert between degrees and radians is: x° = (x × π/180) rad and x rad = (x × 180/π)°. 3. The length of an arc of a circle that subtends an angle θ radians is equal to rθ, where r is the radius of the circle.

    Radian

    1.1   Radian

    Apart from the unit of degrees, angles can be also be measured in the unit of radians

     Definition of One Radian

    The angle subtended at the centre of a circle is 1 radian if the length of the arc is equal to the radius of the circle.
    The formula to convert degrees to radians:

    π
    x∘ = (x × )  rad
    180

    3.142
    = (x × )  rad
    180

    The formula to convert radians to degrees:

    ∘
    180
     x rad = (x × )
    π

    ∘
    180
    = (x × )

    Arc Length of A Circle
    1.2   Arc Length of A Circle

    If the circumference of a circle is divided into two parts of different lengths, the shorter part is known as the minor arc while the longer part
    is known as the major arc

    In the diagram, note that the angle subtended at the centre of the circle by the major arc is

    (2π − θ) radians.
    If s is the length of an arc of a circle of radius r , that subtends an angle θ  radians, at the centre O , then

     s = rθ 
    Example:

    Example

    The diagram shows arc AB  of a circle with centre O .

    Find the length of the arc AB .

    Based on the question, the length of the arc AB

    = 13 cm × 2.7 rad
    = 35.1 cm.
     The perimeter of the shaded segment AP B  of a circle

     = Length of Chord AB +
     Length of Arc AP B 
    Example:

    Area of Sector of a Circle
    1.3   Area of Sector of a Circle

    If a circle is divided into two sectors of different sizes, the smaller sector is known as the minor sector while the larger sector is known as
    the major sector.

     If A is the area of a sector of a circle, of radius r , that subtends an angle θ  radian, at the centre O , then

    1 2
     A = r θ

    In the above diagram, find the area of the sector OAB .

    Based on the question, area of the sector OAB

     Area of the isosceles △OP Q ​
    Example:

    Example

    The diagram shows a sector of a circle, with centre O  and a radius of 7 cm.

    The length of the arc AB  is 5 cm.

    Find the area of the shaded region.

    Length of the arc, s = rθ = AB

    Then, 

    rθ = 5
