There are many; for example,
sin(x) = x - x^3/3! + x^5/5^ - x^7/7! ...
cos(x) = 1 - x^2/2! + x^4/4! - x^6/6! + ...
are valid only when angles are measured in radians.
The derivatives of trigonometric functions
d/dx sin(x) = cos(x),
d/dx cos(x) = -sin(x) as well as the derivatives of other trigonometric ratios are valid (in relatively simple forms) only if defined in radians. The same applies to integrals of these functions.
-1.257 radian
radian = 180/2pi degrees
The radian measure IS the arc length of the unit circle, by definition - that is how the radian is defined in the first place.

The radian measure IS the arc length of the unit circle, by definition - that is how the radian is defined in the first place.
One radian is equal to roughly 57 degrees!
Degree measure is based off of a division of 360 degrees in a circle. Radian measure is based off of a division of 2PI in a full circle.
A radian.

Some less able students are not at ease when working with irrational numbers. Overall, though, the advantages far outweigh that prejudice/disadvantage.

It is a measure of the extent of angular displacement - a measure of an angle.
