What are Radian and Quadrant

Definition of Radian

A radian is a unit of angular measurement equivalent to the angle created when the radius of a circle is wrapped along the circle's edge. It is a standard unit of angular measure used in many areas of mathematics. The length of the arc of a circle that is created by the radian is equal to the radius of that circle. There are approximately 6.28318 (2π) radians in a full circle.

Definition of Quadrant

A quadrant is one fourth of a circle's circumference, representing a quarter of the circle's area. It is a sector with a central angle of 90 degrees. In coordinate geometry, the Cartesian plane is divided into four quadrants by the x and y axes, with each quadrant containing a unique combination of positive and negative values for the coordinates.
