ANGLES AND ITS DIFFERENT UNITS

-
Positive angleAngle is a measure of rotation of a given ray about its initial point. 

Negative angle
The original ray is called the initial side and the final position of the ray after rotation is called the terminal side of the angle.

  • The point of rotation is called the vertex.
  • If the direction of rotation is anticlock, the angle is said to be positive.
  • If the direction of rotation is clock, then the angle is negative.
The measure of an angle is the amount of rotation performed to get the terminal side from the initial side.

There are several units for measuring angles.

Degree measure
  • If a rotation from the initial side to terminal side is ( 1/360 )th of a revolution, the angle is said to have a measure of one degree ( 1° ).
  • A degree is divided into 60 minutes ( 60' ).
  • A minute is divided into 60 seconds ( 60" ).
One sixtieth of a degree is called a minute, i.e. 1', and one sixtieth of a minute is called a second, i.e. 1".
Thus,     1° = 60' ,  1' = 60"


Radian measure
  • Another unit of measurement of an angle, called the radian measure.
  • Angle subtended at the centre by an arc of length 1 unit in a unit circle is said to have a measure of 1 radian.
In a circle of radius r, an arc of length r subtend an angle of 1 radian.

An arc of length l subtend an angle measure is l/r radian. 

Thus, if in a circle of radius r, an arc of length l subtend an angle ϴ radian at the centre. 

ϴ = l/r  or l = rϴ

DOT PUZZLE ( CONNECT ALL THE DOTS WITHOUT LIFTING THE PEN AND WITH ONLY FOUR STRAIGHT LINES WITHOUT ANY OVERLAP )

-
Image
Here we would solve a dot puzzle Consider the figure below Connect all the dots without lifting the pen with only 4 straight lines and the lines do not overlap. Here are some examples already done for you but not been solved because some dots left to be crossed. You could see that some dots have been left to be crossed by the line. So do you think you could solve it. Let us try one more time. Now, what do you see, the puzzle has been solved with the required conditions. Find out some more solutions to this question.

EULER TRAIL PUZZLE

-

What is an Euler trail ? An Euler trail ( Euler path ) is a trail in a finite graph which visits every edge exactly once. An Euler trail is a walk on the edges of a graph which uses each edge exactly once. Euler trail is also called an Euler chain , Euler walk , Euler path . Here is the puzzle as you could see in the picture. Your job is to cross each line exactly once without lifting your pen.  In the following figure consider every marked line as a single line and each must be crossed once without lifting you pen. Here are some examples already done, but in each case, one line is left ( marked red ) to be crossed . See the figures. Have you got the solution ? well, this is impossible to do however hard you try.  Explanation Consider the figure below and find the numbers of line reaching the centre of each box. In the figure you could see that there are three centre points with odd number of lines
