They aren't always. However, 2pi = 360 degrees so there's the logic. which means pi = 180 degrees and pi/2 = 90 degrees and so on.

I'm not sure actually why but i guess it's just another way to look at it. the length of an arc is simply its radius multiplied by its angular measure in radians.

What are angles measured in radians equal to?

The angles measured in radians are about 57.3 degrees. A measurement of an angle in radians is equal to the length of its corresponding arc in the circle.


The units in which angles are measured?

Degrees or Radians


What are the units of measuring angles?

Angles can be measured in degrees, radians and revolutions.


What is the value of an angle?

Angles are usually measured in degrees. They can also be measured in radians.


How do you do coterminal angles with radian measure?

The same way as with degrees. All you have to know is how to convert degrees from radians and radians from degrees.... this is how you do it... radians= pi/180 degrees= 180/pi to get angles from degrees to radians you multiply the angle that is measured in degrees by pi/180. to get angles from radians to degrees you multiply the angle that is measured in radians by 180/pi. pi=3.14


Is the measurement of angles in physics typically done in radians or degrees?

In physics, angles are typically measured in radians rather than degrees.


What is degree in trigonometry?

Angles are measured either in degrees or in radians.


Can angles have a decimal?

Well, honey, angles are usually measured in degrees, which are whole numbers. But if you're feeling fancy and want to get technical, sure, you can have decimal angles when you start diving into radians. So, in short, angles can have decimals if you're willing to shake things up a bit.


Value of Cos 2 Cos inverse 0.8?

Do Inscribed angles have the same measure as their intercepted arcs?

No they do not unless it is a circle with radius (180/pi) and the angles are measured in degrees, or a circle with radius (1/pi) and the angles are measured in radians.


What are properties of angles?

They are measures of angular displacement. In two dimensional space they may be measured in degrees (by beginners) or in radians. There are 2*pi radians in a revolution. In 3-d space angles are measured in steradians. A sphere measures 4*pi steradians
