You also need to become familiar with frequently seen angles which you know in terms of degrees, such as. Remember, degrees are based off of a circle measured in 360 degrees, while radians measure that same circle as fractions of 2pi. How can you use this information to understand the part of a circle represented by. In radians, one complete counterclockwise revolution is 2. Angles in radians are nearly always written in terms of multiples of pi. Whereas there are 360 degrees in a circle, each radian of distance moved along the outside of the circle is equal to 57. On the edge of 0 and 360 degrees or radians pi and pi. Most of us have no idea why theres 360 degrees in a circle.
With this as our starting point, we can find the radian measure of other angles easily. We started by first calculating the circumference of the unit circle 2.
