Is a degree measure larger than a radian measure?
1 radian = 180/pi degrees = ~57.29º
-------------------------------------
2. If the radius of a circle is increased and the measure of a central angle is held constant, what happens to the length of the intercepted arc?
The length increases linearly. If you double the radius, the arc length is also doubled.
Arc length = radius times angle (angle in radians)
