1. Find the radian measures corresponding to the following degree measures: ( i ) 25° ( ii ) – 47°30 ′′′′′ ( iii ) 240° ( iv ) 520°.
Sol. Since 180° = π radians ∴ 1° =

∴ Radian measure of 25° is

5. In a circle of diameter 40 cm, the length of a chord is 20 cm. Find the length of minor arc of the chord.
Sol. Radius of circle =
× 40 cm = 20 cm Chord AB = 20 cm ∴ In triangle OAB, OA = OB = AB ⇒ Triangle is equilateral ⇒ Each angle = 60° Let arc AB = l cm.
Now, θ = ∠AOB = 60° = 60 ×
π radians r = 20 cm
∴ l = r θ = 20 × π cm [ l and r have same units]
π cm.

Sol. Let the radii of the two circles be r 1 and r 2 respectively. Also, let the length of arc in each case be l. [∵Arcs are of same length (given)]
For the first circle, θ = 60° = 60 ×
π radians We know that l = r θ
∴ r = (^) θ
⇒ r 1 = π

∴ r 1 : r 2 = 5 : 4.
7. Find the angle in radian through which a pendulum swings if its length is 75 cm and the tip describes an arc of length: ( i ) 10 cm ( ii ) 15 cm ( iii ) 21 cm. Sol. [If one end of an inelastic string is attached to a fixed point and to the other end is attached a heavy particle (called bob ), then this system is called a pendulum. Length of the string is called the length of the pendulum.] Here, r = 75 cm. ( i ) l = 10 cm
∴ θ =
radians. ( ii ) l = 15 cm
∴ θ =
radians. ( iii ) l = 21 cm
∴ θ =
