A method of expressing the size of an angle. The sexagenary system is a method of measuring the size of an angle by dividing the circumference into 360 equal parts, while the radian system literally measures the size of an angle by the length of the arc. The unit is the size of the central angle in a circle with a radius of 1 and an arc with a length of 1, and is called 1 radian or 1 radian. According to this system, a flat angle (180 degrees) has an arc length of π (pi is the circular constant), so in the radian system it is π radians. Similarly, a right angle (90 degrees) is π/2 radians. Generally, if an angle of α degrees in the sexagenary system is x radians in the radian system, then 30°=π/6, 45°=π/4, 60°=π/3 [Toshio Shibata] Source: Shogakukan Encyclopedia Nipponica About Encyclopedia Nipponica Information | Legend |
角の大きさを表す方法の一つ。円周を360等分して角の大きさを測る方法が六十分法であるが、弧度法は文字どおり弧の長さで角の大きさを測る。半径が1の円で長さが1の弧に対する中心角の大きさを単位とし、1弧度、あるいは1ラジアンという。この方法によれば、平角(180度)は、これに対応する弧の長さがπ(円周率をπとする)であるから、弧度法ではπラジアンとなる。同様に直角(90度)はπ/2ラジアンとなる。一般に、六十分法でα度の角が弧度法でxラジアンであるとすると、 30°=π/6, 45°=π/4, 60°=π/3 [柴田敏男] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
