Writing Assignment

Prepare a paper (greater than one page with 10 point font) discussing radian measure and the unit circle. In the paper, be certain to:

- use some flexible item as the definition of unit measure. 1-2 feet long is good.
- draw a circle by holding one end and rotate a pen (or sidewalk chalk) along the other end
- lay the flexible item along the perimeter of the circle. One length along the circle gives an angle of one radian; Two lengths give two radians; 1/2 of a length gives 1/2 of a radian; etc. In this manner, create physical examples for each of the following values. Take a picture of your results and share these in your paper.

1.  60 radians rounded to closest axis angle (in radians)=
2.  cos(11) rounded to the nearest eighth=

Prepare a paper, with appropriate references, and share with your instructor.
