The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "One radian is the angle subtended at …………. By an arc ………………", we can break it down into steps. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Radian Measurement**: - A radian is a unit of angular measurement. It is defined based on the relationship between the length of an arc and the radius of the circle. 2. **Defining the Circle**: - Consider a circle with a center point. Let’s denote the radius of the circle as \( R \). 3. **Drawing the Angle**: - From the center of the circle, draw two radii that create an angle \( \theta \). This angle is what we are trying to define in radians. 4. **Arc Length**: - The arc length \( L \) is the distance along the circumference of the circle between the two points where the radii intersect the circle. 5. **Relationship Between Angle, Arc Length, and Radius**: - The relationship is given by the formula: \[ \theta = \frac{L}{R} \] - Here, \( \theta \) is in radians, \( L \) is the length of the arc, and \( R \) is the radius of the circle. 6. **Condition for One Radian**: - For \( \theta \) to be equal to 1 radian, the length of the arc \( L \) must be equal to the radius \( R \): \[ \theta = 1 \text{ radian} \implies L = R \] 7. **Filling in the Blanks**: - Therefore, we can fill in the blanks: - One radian is the angle subtended at **the center of the circle** by an arc **equal in length to the radius of the circle**. ### Final Answer: One radian is the angle subtended at **the center of the circle** by an arc **equal in length to the radius of the circle**.
