    This document provides crucial points about working with radians. It discusses leaving answers in terms of pi when possible, knowing notation for angles in radians, ensuring the calculator is in radian mode, using sector formulae only when angles are in radians, giving solutions in the required range whether radians or degrees, and knowing the relationship between radius and tangent of a circle.

    Section 3: Radians

    Crucial points

    1. Where possible, leave your answer in terms of
    When an angle is a simple multiple or fraction of 180, then leave your
    answers in terms of .

    2. You must know the notation for angles in radians
    When an angle is given as a multiple or fraction of you can assume it is
    in radians.
    Otherwise you write, say, 0.7 rads.
    In some older textbooks 0.7 rads might be written as 0.7
    c
    .

    3. Make sure that your calculator is in the right mode
    Remember when you want to work out, say, sin
    3

    , make sure your


    calculator is in rad mode.

    4. Make sure that angles are in radians before using sector formulae
    The formulae for arc length ( r ) and sector area (
    2
    1
    2
    r ) can only be used
    when the angle, , is in radians.
    To change degrees to radians multiply by
    180

    .

    5. Make sure that your solutions lie in the required range
    When you are solving a trigonometric equation make sure you check what
    range the solutions are to lie in and give all the solutions within that range.
    If the range is given in radians, e.g. 0 2 , then give your answers in
    radians. If the range is given in degrees, e.g. 0 360 , then give your
    answers in degrees.

    6. You must know the relationship between the radius and tangent of a
    circle
    Remember that the radius of a circle and the tangent to a circle meet at
    right angles.
