If the smaller gear rotates through an angle of 5π/4 radians, through what angle measurement in degrees will the larger gear rotate? \n" ); document.write( "

The measure of an angle in radians is the arc divided by the radius:
\n" ); document.write( "\"angle=arc%2Fradius\" <---> \"angle%2Aradius=arc\"
\n" ); document.write( "As the small gear rotates through an angle of \"5pi%2F4\" radians, the point that was originally in contact with the other gear moves a distance of
\n" ); document.write( "\"%285pi%2F4%29%2A%282.5cm%29\" along the circumference of the small gear.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "In the large gear, the point that was originally in contact with the other gear moves the same distance along the circumference of the small gear.
\n" ); document.write( "If that distance correspond to an angle measuring \"x\" radians, that distance is
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2A%284.8cm%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "So, \"x%2A%284.8cm%29=%285pi%2F4%29%2A%282.5cm%29\"-->\"x=%285pi%2F4%29%2A%282.5cm%2F%224.8+cm%22%29\"-->\"x=%285%2F4%29%2825%2F48%29pi\"-->\"x=125pi%2F192\"
\n" ); document.write( "That's \"70.3125%5Eo\".
\n" ); document.write( " The points of the gears that were in contact end up at A and B after that turn.
\n" ); document.write( "
