  • Investigation 6.6.2 - Gradian Measure
    Investigation 6.6.2 - Gradian measure Have you ever wondered why we have 360 degrees in a circle when our number system is base 10? Why not divide the circle into 10 angular units? Or 100? The notion of the “degree” as the base angular unit of measure is generally attributed to the Babylonians. The Babylonian numerical system was sexagesimal (base 60). The number “360” played an essential role in their calendar as it is close to the number of days in a year. Another hypothesis is that the circle divides more naturally into six parts than it does four or ten. Try drawing diameters through a circle cutting it into even parts. I. 6 equal parts II. 4 equal parts III. 10 equal parts Then draw chords by connecting consecutive diameter endpoints. Which method produces equilateral triangles? Which dissected circle has chords congruent to its radius? Now find the central angle of each dissection. Which is most closely related to the Babylonian sexagesimal number system? Now suppose we wanted to derive an angular unit of measure more closely related to our base 10 decimal system. Let us begin by dividing a right angle into 100 units, called “gradians”. (You may have this system on your calculator, denoted “grad”.) a. How many gradians are in one whole circle? b. Convert 180° into gradians. c. How many degrees make 50 gradians? If societies in science fiction have differing number of days in their respective years due to different planetary orbits, it would stand to reason that their methods for measuring angles and circles might be different from our system.

  • A Modeling Approach to Calculus
    626 APPENDIX B. TRIGONOMETRY BASICS B.2 Measuring Arbitrary Angles B.2.1 Angles and Rotation In the previous section, we focused on the trigonometry of right triangles, which involve angles smaller than a right angle. The more significant use of measuring angles involve angles of rotation which can be significantly greater than 90 degrees. Before we proceed, we need to discuss how angles are measured. Have you ever considered why we measure angles in degrees? What is so special about a degree? One thing nice about the number 360 is that it has so many factors, including 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 12. (That only misses 7 and 11!) This makes it easy to divide into fractions that simplify cleanly with integers. Having an easily divisible number that is so close to the number of days in the year, so that 1 degree is close to the change in the daily position of stars in the sky, would have been convenient to ancient astronomers. What other ways are there to measure rotations? If a right angle is considered the fundamental unit, then we might consider measuring an angle as a percentage of a right angle, so that 90 degrees counts as 100 percent. This idea led to the development of what is called a gradian. So an angle of 1 gradian is exactly 1 percent of a right angle, and there are 400 gradians in a circle. Alternatively, if we think of a full rotation as the fundamental unit, then we might measure an angle as a fraction of a rotation.

  • Trigonometry Introducing Mathematics (Fx350ex/Fx82ex)
    Barry Kissane Module 4 Trigonometry A calculator is a useful tool for many aspects of trigonometry, both for solving problems involving measurement and understanding relationships among angles. To start with check that your calculator is set to use degrees (by looking for a small D symbol on the display). Use T to change it if necessary. Start this module in Calculate mode, by tapping p1. Trigonometry and right triangles Definitions of trigonometric functions can be based on right triangles, such as the one shown below, for which C is a right angle. A C B AC BC AC For this triangle, sine B = , cosine B = and tangent B = . AB AB BC In addition, because the triangle is right angled, the Theorem of Pythagoras allows us to see the relationship between the lengths of the two sides (AC and BC) and the hypotenuse (AB): AC 2 BC 2 AB2 Together, these relationships allow us to determine all the sides and the angles of a right triangle, even when only some of the information is known. For example, if we know that angle B is 38o and that AB = 4.2 m, we can find the length of AC using the definition of sine above: AC AC sin B = = , so AC = 4.2 sin B. AB 4.2 Computations like this are easily performed on the calculator. It is a good practice to include the bracket after the angle size, even though the calculator will calculate correctly without it. Notice that it is not necessary to use a multiplication sign in this case to find that AC ≈ 2.59 m.

  • How to Measure Navigational Velocity Using the Metric System by Stanley M
    Gradians, Not Degrees: How to Measure Navigational Velocity Using the Metric System by Stanley M. Max Lecturer, Department of Mathematics, Towson University Certified Metrication Specialist, U.S. Metric Association Abstract Even in countries where the metric system has been long established, knots are used to measure navigational velocity on the sea and in the air. This is surprising because a knot, which equals one nautical mile per hour, is not a metric unit. However, the knot is based upon the size and shape of the Earth, so this unit has natural appeal to navigators. Does a method exist to use the metric unit of kilometers per hour for measuring navigational velocity that is also based upon the size and shape of the Earth, and which would therefore provide equal appeal to navigators? Yes it does, provided that angular measurement is performed using gradians (also called gons) instead of degrees. Measuring navigational velocity In air and sea navigation throughout much of the world, horizontal velocity is measured in knots (kn). This is not a metric unit, which is to say that it does not comply with the international standards officially known as the International System of Units (known in short as SI). For a knot, the metric equivalent is kilometers per hour (km/h). I strongly advocate for the metric system, and I decry the continued and stubborn refusal of the United States to fully metricate its system of weights and measures. I believe that having to learn two systems of measurement — one of which (the inch-pound system) is archaic and inefficient — very much contributes to the poor mathematical skills exhibited by Americans.

  • Learning Mathematics with Graphics Calculators 1 Barry Kissane & Marian Kemp
    PREFACE Over 40 years, calculators have evolved from being computational devices for scientists and engineers to becoming important educational tools. What began as a tool to answer numerical questions has evolved to become an affordable, powerful and flexible environment for students and their teachers to explore mathematical ideas and relationships. CASIO’s invention of a graphics screen on scientific calculators almost 30 years added significant educational power to these devices. Following many years of advice from experienced teachers, the CASIO fx-9860GII series of calculators include substantial mathematical capabilities, innovative use of a graphics screen for mathematical purposes and extensive use of natural displays of mathematical notation. Continuing this evolutionary process, the CASIO fx-CG 20 includes a colour graphics screen and innovative applications to enhance its educational value. This publication comprises a series of modules to help make best use of the opportunities for mathematics education afforded by these developments. The focus of the modules is on the use of the calculators in the development of students’ understanding of mathematical concepts and relationships, as an integral part of the development of mathematical meaning for the students. The calculator is not just a device for computation, once the mathematics has been understood. It is now best thought of as a laboratory in which students can experiment with mathematical ideas and deepen their understanding of the mathematics involved. The similarities between the two calculator models allows users of either calculator to make use of the modules, except for three special modules which require the enhanced features of the CASIO fx-CG 20, the colour graphics calculator.

  • Angle Measurement by Myron Berg Dickinson State University Abstract
    Angle Measurement By Myron Berg Dickinson State University abstract • This PowerPoint deck was created for a presentation. • I discuss some ways other than degrees or radians in which angles are measured • Instead of using a radius of 1 to create radians, I discusses the results of using 1 as the circumference or area of a circle to create an alternative unit of measure. Then I examined whether these units have any advantage, including greater simplicity, when compared to the values that result from radians. Goals • Provide background information for instruction about angle measurement • Cover some strategies for helping students understand radian measure Overview • History of angle measurements • Common methods used to measure angles today • Cyclical angles • Advantages of using radians to measure angles • Helping students remember angle measurement values The Unit Circle • Expecting it to be simple – but can be a struggle Angle measurement strategies Slope Examples of grade: Grade % not evenly spaced Degrees vs Grade 50 45 40 35 30 25 20 degrees 15 10 5 0 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 grade Angles formed by repeated bisection • 256 units would be closest to 360 Compass Points use 16 divisions Wind Directions Using a scale with 0 and 360 being north Degrees Circular Reasoning to describe Circles • Why is there 360 degrees in a circle? • Because 4 right angles make a circle, and each right angle is 90° • Why is there 90 degrees in a right angle? • Because there are 360 degrees in a circle and a right angle is ¼ of a circle 360° • Reason for using 360 is unknown • 365 days in a year could be explanation • Babylonians divided circle using the angle of an equilateral triangle, then subdivided that using their sexagesimal numeric system • They inherited sexagesimal from Sumerians, who developed it around 2000 B.C.
