The radian system describes angles in terms of the diameter of a unit circle, i.e. where the radius is 1. If two lines intersect at the radius of a unit circle, the angle in radians between those two lines is the length of the arc along the diameter of the circle delimited by those two lines. The diameter of a unit circle is 2 pi. In the degree system, the angle of one quarter of the circle is 90, while the radians of that same angle is pi / 2. One radian is approximately 57.3 degrees.

Why can the radian unit sometimes appear or disappear?

The radian can sometimes appear or disappear in mathematical expressions depending on the context. When working with angles in trigonometric functions, such as sine or cosine, the radian is often implicit, meaning the angle is understood to be in radians without explicitly stating it. However, when converting between units (like degrees and radians), or when providing results in a specific unit, the radian may be explicitly mentioned or converted, causing it to appear or disappear as needed.
