Question

1. In the following diagram point B is the center of the circle, AB has length 1, and \angle ABC has radian measure $x$. (a) Which segment has length equal to $\sin x$? (b) What is the length of the arc AC? (c) How does the picture \"prove\" that $\sin x \leq x$? What $x$-values is this valid for? How should it be modified to be true for all $x$?

1. In the following diagram, point B is the center of the circle. AB has a length of 1, and ∠ABC has a radian measure of x. (a) Which segment has a length equal to sin x? (b) What is the length of the arc AC? (c) How does the picture prove that sin x? What x-values is this valid for? How should it be modified to be true for all?
