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.
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 go from radians to degrees, multiply by 180/pi To go from degrees to radians, multiply by pi/180
One full revolution is equal to (2\pi) radians. This is because a full circle has an angle of 360 degrees, and since (360) degrees is equivalent to (2\pi) radians, we use this relationship to define a complete rotation in terms of radians.
A complete circle of 360 degrees is equivalent to (2\pi) radians. This relationship comes from the conversion factor between degrees and radians, where (180) degrees is equal to (\pi) radians. Therefore, to convert 360 degrees to radians, you can use the formula: (360 \times \frac{\pi}{180} = 2\pi).
Whenever you are not able to use degrees you use radians instead
To convert degrees to radians, you can use the formula: radians = degrees * (π/180). Therefore, 35 degrees is approximately 0.6109 radians.

To find the arc length using radians, you can use the formula: Arc Length Radius x Angle in Radians. Simply multiply the radius of the circle by the angle in radians to calculate the arc length.
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
One revolution = 2Pi radians 16.75 radians / 2Pi radians/rev ~= 2.666 revolutions
