Radian is a more natural way of expressing an angle. By this I mean it is related to the natural relationship between a circle (actually an arc of a circle) and the radius of the circle, while degrees are a measurement created by man.
If you take an angle of 1 radian, the measurement along the arc is equal to the length of the radius. Hence the term radian has the same root as radius. So if you multiply the angle measurement (in radians) by the radius, then you have the length of the arc.
If you have a full circle (360° is equal to 2*pi radians), the circumference (length of an 'arc' going all the way around the circle) is 2*pi*radius.

Why convert degrees to radian?
Because a radian is a far more versatile unit of measurement, especially in advanced mathematics.
Convert from radian measure to degree measure?
Degrees = (180/pi)*Radians
What is a radian equal to?
A radian is 180/pi degrees, or about 57 degrees
What is a radian of 30 degrees?
The radian is 0.523598776
Convert negative 72 degrees to radian measure?
-1.257 radian
What does 20 degrees convert to?
0.3491 radian (rounded)
How do you convert steradians into radian?
You do not convert. STERADIAN is a two dimensioal measurement RADIAN is a one dimensional measurement. Just as you cannot convert area into degrees (of angular measurement)
Why convert degrees to radian?
Because a radian is a far more versatile unit of measurement, especially in advanced mathematics.
Convert from radian measure to degree measure?
Degrees = (180/pi)*Radians
How many degrees are there in one radian?
One radian is about 57.3 degrees
What is a radian equal to?
A radian is 180/pi degrees, or about 57 degrees
What is a radian of 30 degrees?
The radian is 0.523598776
How do you convert angles to radian measure?
180 degrees = 1 pi radian. That means that there are 2 pi radians in a circle. Divide the number of degrees by 180 and you get the pi radians. You can also multiply the pi radians by 180 and get the number of degrees.
What is the value of Radian in degrees?
A radian is exactly 180 / pi degrees, approximately 57.30 degrees.
How to convert degree to radian?
n degrees = n*tau/360 or n*pi/180 radians.
What are the formulas that include the changes of degree to radian?
To convert from degrees to radians, multiply the number of degrees by (pi / 180). Pi is approximately 3.1416.
