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. • 360 has 24 divisors (1-10 except 7) • Also occurred in ancient India • Combination of both reasons (365 days and 60 as a useful number) may be possible • Babylonians used chords for trigonometry (1/60 of a radius used as a chord forms a degree) 60 minutes were used as divisions of a degree • 60 is the smallest number divisible by 1-6, 10, 12, 15, 20, and 30. • Analog clocks and globe divisions came from Babylonians • 60 was used to divide minutes into seconds for clocks and angles 12 hours • Egyptians used sundials with duodecimal system • 12 lunar cycles per year • 12 joints on each hand excluding thumb • Hours were shorter in winter • angle bisection could produce 256 or 512 units instead of 360 • 360 provides the balance between having to use decimals and having to use 3 digit numbers. Other Angle Measurement Systems Vector angles • The sides have fixed values, even though represented by arrows. • Greeks pictured angles with infinitely long rays. Azimuth – another way North is over here Cyclical angle measurements • "We're going to turn this team around 360 degrees." - Jason Kidd, upon his drafting to the Dallas Mavericks Radians vs Degrees • Angles in polar notation are generally expressed in either degrees or radians (2π rad being equal to 360°). • Radians are more abstract, pi is abstract • Pi contains every number pattern in it. For example, “12345” would be found in it somewhere. • If you know the radian measure of an angle, simply multiplying it by the radius gives the arc length. • Most practical (applied) uses of angles don’t care about the length. • Finding the area of a sector is about the same difficulty with radians or with degrees. • Degrees are traditionally used in navigation, surveying, and many applied disciplines. • radians are more common in mathematics and mathematical physics. Quiz 1. The illustration above is an illustration of the size of a) 1 degree b) 1 radian c) 1 percent of a full circle d) 1 percent of a right angle e) 1 gradian f) 1% grade 2. 1 radian is about _________ degrees. 3. T F The slope of the top ray (of the radian from #1) is greater than 1. Another way to illustrate a radian Important angle sizes: • Half a square can be a 45-45-90 triangle • Half an equilateral triangle can be a 30-60-90 triangle 45 degree or 30 and 60 degree angles: Oneness of radians – based upon a radius of 1 Other Alternatives using “1” in a different way and the angles they produce: Slope (Grade) of ‘1’ Circumference of ‘1’ • Radius of 1 • Circumference of 1 100 parts - 100% • cen·ti·grade (C) (sen'ti-grād) 1.

Square Degree • The full moon covers only about 0.2 deg2 of the sky when viewed from the surface of the Earth. The Moon is only a half degree across (i.e. a circular diameter of roughly 0.5 deg), so the moon's disk covers a circular area of: π × (0.5°/2)2, or 0.2 square degrees. • Viewed from Earth, the Sun is roughly half a degree across (the same as the full moon) and covers only 0.2 deg2 as well. • Those studying the sky calculate square degrees the same way someone on Earth figures out the area of a rectangle or a circle. If a sky object measures 1° by 2°, it’s like a box measuring 1 foot by 2 feet. The areas are 2 square degrees and 2 square feet, respectively. And while you can designate the latter 2 ft2, there’s no easy abbreviation for square degrees. Reduce memorization by looking for patterns Simplicity as a goal? • People still choose complexity over simplicity when given a choice. This is a sad fact of life, so get over it. (probably not true for students) • "There are two ways of constructing a software design; one way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C. A. R.

  • Calculating Growing Degree Days by Jim Nugent District Horticulturist Michigan State University
    Calculating Growing Degree Days By Jim Nugent District Horticulturist Michigan State University Are you calculating degree day accumulations and finding your values don't match the values being reported by MSU or your neighbor's electronic data collection unit? There is a logical reason! Three different methods are used to calculate degree days; i.e., 1) Averaging Method; 2) Baskerville-Emin (BE) Method; and 3) Electronic Real-time Data Collection. All methods attempt to calculate the heat accumulation above a minimum threshold temperature, often referred to the base temperature. Once both the daily maximum and minimum temperatures get above the minimum threshold temperature, (i.e., base temperature of 42degrees, 50degrees or whatever other base temperature of interest) then all methods are fairly comparable. However, differences do occur and these are accentuated in an exceptionally long period of cool spring temperatures, such as we experienced this year. Let me briefly explain: 1. Averaging Method: Easy to calculate Degree Days(DD) = Average daily temp. - Base Temp. = (max. + min.) / 2 - Base temp. If answer is negative, assume 0. Example: Calculate DD Base 50 given 65 degrees max. and 40 degrees min. Avg. = (65 + 40) / 2 = 52.5 degrees DD base 50 = 52.5 - 50 = 2.5 degrees. But look what happens given a maximum of 60 degrees and a minimum of 35 degrees: Avg. = (60 + 35) / 2 = 47.5 DD base 50 = 47.5 - 50 = -2.5 = 0 degrees. The maximum temperature was higher than the base of 50° , but no degree days were accumulated. A grower called about the first of June reporting only about 40% of the DD50 that we have recorded.

An angle is created when a half-ray (initial side of angle) A: vertex point of angle is drawn out of a single point (vertex) AB: Initial side of angle. and the ray is rotated around the point to AC: Terminal side of angle another location (becoming the terminal side of the angle). Hence angle A is created (also called angle BAC) STANDARD POSITION An angle is in "standard position" when the vertex is at the origin and the initial side of the angle is along the positive x-axis. Recall: polynomials in algebra have a standard form (all the terms have to be listed with the term having the highest exponent first). In trigonometry, there is a standard position for angles. In this way, we are all talking about the same thing and are not trying to guess if your math solution and my math solution are the same. Not standard position. Not standard position. This IS standard position. Initial side not along Initial side along negative Initial side IS along the positive x-axis.
