METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION
1. Take a cardboard of a convenient size and paste a white paper on it.
2. Draw a circle using a bangle on the white paper.
3. Take a set square and place it in two different positions to find diameters
PQ and RS of the circle as shown in the Fig.7.1 and 7.2

DEMONSTRATION
1. Let the radius of the circle be r and l be an arc
subtending an angle θ at the centre C, as shown
l
in Fig. 7.4. θ = radians.
r
l
2. If Degree measure of θ = × 360 degrees
2πr
l l
Then radians = × 360 degrees
r 2πr
180
or 1 radian = degrees = 57.27 degrees.
