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.

What is 2115 degrees in 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 measures of angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio 2 3 6 7 find their measures in degrees and in 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
