These things are merely conventions; and the historian looking at very old technical works assumes nothing about which way measurements are taken or displayed. Conventions help people understand descriptions and drawings more easily. Nature is not usually concerned with these things and will work fine if all the directions were reversed.

CoachAngles and radians are measured counterclockwise because of mathematical convention. This convention has been established to provide consistency and uniformity in mathematical calculations and representations. It helps to simplify mathematical concepts and makes it easier to relate angles to other mathematical constructs such as trigonometric functions.

How do you draw a triangle with a right angle that's 4cm?

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 is the value of an angle?
Angles are usually measured in degrees. They can also be measured in radians.
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.
