RADIAN MEASURE
Recall: The circumference of a circle 𝐶 = 2𝜋𝑟. 𝑪
𝑟 = 𝟐𝝅
𝒓 ratio of the circumference
𝑟
to the radius of the circle
𝑟
The radian measure of an angle is the ratio of the
𝑟
𝑟
One radian is the measure of a central angle of a
circle that intercepts an arc equal in length to the
𝑟
radius of that circle.
𝑟
one full circular rotation = 2𝜋 radians
1 rad ≈ 57.296°
2𝜋 radians = 360°
The radian measure of an angle is the ratio of the length of
the arc subtended by the angle to the radius of the circle.
If the length of the intercepted arc by the central angle 𝜃 radians is 𝑠 in a circle
with radius 𝑟, then

called coterminal angles.

IDENTITY
An identity is an equation that is true for all values of the
variable in the domain of the equation.
CONDITIONAL
An equation that is not an identity is called a conditional
equation. That is, if some values of the variable in the
domain of the equation do not satisfy the equation, then the
equation is a conditional equation.
Determine whether the equation is an identity or a conditional equation
