Radians are the preferred measurement unit in more advanced mathematics because of some of its properties. The basic definition is also simple: if you take the radius of a circle and wrap it around its circumference then that arc will subtend an angle of 1 radian at the centre of the circle.
Some useful properties for angles measured in radians:
sin(x) = x - x3/3! + x5/5! - x7/7! + ... and
cos(x) = 1 - x2/2! + x4/4! - x6/6! + ... .
The limit of sin(x)/x as x tends to zero is 1, so that the derivative of sin(x) is cos(x) and so on. Derivatives and integrals of sine and cosine functions are of enormous importance in mathematics.
Radians are used to find the properties of a circle and they form the circumference of a circle with a length of the same length of the circle's radius.
To convert degrees to radians, you can use the formula: radians = degrees * (π/180). Therefore, 35 degrees is approximately 0.6109 radians.
Wherever you want to measure and calculate angles you can use radians
To convert radians to degrees, you can use the formula: degrees = radians * (180/π).
Tiesonthewall:If you were converting from degree to radians, you would actually multiply the value of degrees by* π/180 If you were converting from radians to degrees, you would multiply the radians value by:* 180/πDivide by 180° and multiply by pi.

Whenever you are not able to use degrees you use radians instead

To convert radians to degrees, you can use the formula: degrees = radians * (180/π).
That's a simple way to measure angles, but later on in Calculus radians are used. 2π radians = 360o.
Use an angle of pi/4 radians.
180° = π radians → 45° = π × 45°/180° radians = π/4 radians
pi [radians] = 180 [degrees] 1 [degree] = pi/180 [radians] = 0.0174533 [radians] therefore, 2115 [degrees] = 2115 [degrees] * 0.0174533 [radians/degree] = 36.9 [radians]
The angles are: 40° = 2π/9 radians ≈ 0.698 radians, 60° = π/3 radians ≈ 1.047 radians 120° = 2π/3 radians ≈ 2.094 radians, and 140° = 7π/9 radians ≈ 2.443 radians. There are 2 + 3 + 6 + 7 = 18 parts. The sum of the angles in a quadrilateral are 360° → each part is 360° ÷ 18 = 20° → the angles are: 2 x 20° = 40° 3 x 20° = 60° 6 x 20° = 120° 7 x 20° = 140° A full circle is 2π radians → 360° = 2π radians → 1° = π/180 radians → 40° = 40 x π/180 radians = 2π/9 radians ≈ 0.698 radians → 60° = 60 x π/180 radians = π/3 radians ≈ 1.047 radians → 120° = 120 x π/180 radians = 2π/3 radians ≈ 2.094 radians → 140° = 140 x π/180 radians = 7π/9 radians ≈ 2.443 radians
When people use degrees, they either use "degrees" as in 30 degrees, or the little circle as in 30o. For Radians, they might say radians or possibly R or Rad.
