If an arc of a circle is drawn so that the length of the arc is equal to the radius of the circle then the angle at the centre of the circle subtended by the arc is called one radian.

Then the angle subtended by the entire circle is given by the ratio , circumference / radius = 2πr/r = 2π radians.

2π radians is equivalent to 360°

So, π radians = 180°

and thus, π/2 radians = 90°

Pi over two, or Pi divided by two radians is the name for 90° in a circle.
