For example, suppose a vector-valued function describes the motion of a particle in space. We would like to determine how far the particle has traveled over a given time interval, which can be described by the arc length of the path it follows.

We can think of arc length as the distance you would travel if you were walking along the path of the curve. Many real-world applications involve arc length. If a rocket is launched along a parabolic path, we might want to know how far the rocket travels. Or, if a curve on a map represents a road, we might want to know how far we have to drive to reach our destination.

The amount of rotation determines the measure of the angle. An angle is in standard position if its vertex is at the origin and its initial side lies along the positive x-axis. A positive angle is measured counterclockwise from the initial side and a negative angle is measured clockwise.

It explains how radians provide a natural way to measure angles through the context of the circle's radius, enhancing understanding of circular motion and geometry. The content elaborates on converting degrees to radians, calculating arc lengths using radians, and practical applications such as finding the length of an arc spanned by a specific angle and evaluating trigonometric functions using radians.
