  2. 150°
  3. negative 90 degrees
  4. negative 60 degrees
  5. 160°
  6. 20°

Write each measure in degrees. Round your answer to the nearest degree, if necessary.

The measure θ of an angle in standard position is given. Find the exact values of cos θ and sin θ for each angle measure. See Problem 2.

  1. pi over 6 . radians
  2. pi over 3 . radians
  3. pi over 2 . radians
  4. negative , pi over 4 . radians
  5. fraction 2 pi , over 3 end fraction . radians
  6. negative , pi over 2 . radians
  7. fraction 5 pi , over 4 end fraction . radians
  8. fraction 7 pi , over 6 end fraction . radians

Use each circle to find the length of the indicated arc. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. See Problem 3.

  1. A circle with a central angle measuring pi over 3 in radians, and a radius measuring 3 centimeters. The intercepted arc is a length of t.
  2. A circle with a central angle measuring 2 pi over 3 in radians, and a radius measuring 5 meters. The intercepted arc is a length of C.
  3. A circle with a central angle measuring 11 pi over 6, and a radius measuring 9 feet. The intercepted arc is a length of m.
  4. A circle with a central angle measuring 4 pi over 3, and a radius measuring 6 inches. The intercepted arc is a length of a.
  5. A circle with a central angle measuring (3 pi over 4), and a radius measuring 2 meters. The intercepted arc is a length of w.
  6. A circle with a central angle measuring 5 pi over 4 and a radius measuring 11 centimeters. The intercepted arc is a length of z.

Find the length of each arc.

  1. A circular roadway makes a circle with a central angle, rotated clockwise negative 285 degrees. The radius is 150 feet.
  2. A kite makes an arc with a measure of 1.45 radians, and a length of 22 feet.
