52. Theorem 17-1
The radian measure  of a rotation is the ratio of the distance s traveled by a point at a radius r from the center of rotation to the length of the radius.

56. One Radian is the measure of an angle in standard position whose terminal side intercepts an arc of length r.
The arc length s of a sector with radius r and central angle  is given by the formula: s = r 

72. Let's label the unit circle with values of the tangent
Let's label the unit circle with values of the tangent. (Remember this is just y/x)

73.  = - 360° + 45°  = - 315°  = 45°  = 360° + 45° = 405°
What is the measure of this angle?
You could measure in the positive direction and go around another rotation which would be another 360°
 = - 360° + 45°
 = - 315°
 = 45°
You could measure in the positive direction
 = 360° + 45° = 405°
You could measure in the negative direction
There are many ways to express the given angle. Whichever way you express it, it is still a Quadrant I angle since the terminal side is in Quadrant I.

74. If the angle is not exactly to the next degree it can be expressed as a decimal (most common in math) or in degrees, minutes and seconds (common in surveying and some navigation).
1 degree = 60 minutes
1 minute = 60 seconds
 = 25°48'30"
degrees
seconds
minutes
To convert to decimal form use conversion fractions. These are fractions where the numerator = denominator but two different units. Put unit on top you want to convert to and put unit on bottom you want to get rid of.
Let's convert the seconds to minutes
30"
= 0.5'

75.  = 25°48'30" = 25°48.5' = 25.808° 48.5' = .808° 1 degree = 60 minutes
1 minute = 60 seconds
 = 25°48'30"
= 25°48.5'
= °
Now let's use another conversion fraction to get rid of minutes.
48.5'
= .808°
