Introduction to Radian Measure: Measuring Angles Beyond Degrees

This video tutorial explains how to find the radian measure of an angle by dividing the arc length by the radius of a circle. It reviews basic circle geometry concepts such as radius, diameter, and circumference. The tutorial introduces radians, showing their proportional relationship with circle measurements, and defines a radian as the angle subtended by an arc equal in length to the radius. Practical examples and visualizations help illustrate these concepts, including how to calculate and sketch angles in radians.

What does it mean when we say that arc length is directly proportional to radius?
