An angle of 1 radian is defined to be the angle, in the counterclockwise directions, at which center of the unit circle which spans an arc of length 1.
unit circle
Definition: the arc length is the counter clockwise distance along the edge of the circle from the positive x axis until the terminating edge of the angle. The arc length is measured in RADIANS. The radian measure of the arc length is also the radian measure of the angle.

Definition of Arc Length: the arc length, s, is defined as the radius times the angle measure in radians. s = r!
Therefore, given the radius of the circle at left is 16, then the highlighted arc length would be s = 16 * 3" = 9" 4
Suppose I have a circle with radius 4.5 inches. What is the arc length cut off by an angle of 315o?
What is the radian measure of 315 degrees? Multiply that by 4.5 inches.

An angle of 1 radian is defined to be the angle, in the counterclockwise directions, at which center of the unit circle which spans an arc of length 1.
