This document defines terms related to angles, circular motion, and problem solving using angles. It provides formulas for calculating arc length from central angle measures, linear speed from arc length and time, and angular speed from angle and time. Examples demonstrate using the formulas to find arc lengths, speeds, and angle measures. Exercises provide additional practice problems involving angles, arc lengths, speeds, and real-world applications like highway signs and latitude/longitude.
