What are Radian and Degree

Definition of Radian

A radian is a unit of angular measure used in many areas of mathematics. One radian is the angle created when the arc length of a circle is equal to the radius of the circle. Essentially, it is the standard unit of angular measure, where the angle is defined by the radius of a circle and the arc length. The radian is a SI derived unit which simplifies the process of calculating trigonometric functions and analyzing cyclical phenomena.

Definition of Degree

A degree is a measure of angle equal to 1/360th of a complete revolution, or circle. The concept originates from the ancient Babylonians, who devised a base-60 system of counting. Degrees are widely used in many fields, including navigation, surveying, and for common notation in geometry and trigonometry. One degree is subdivided into 60 minutes, and one minute is further divided into 60 seconds, allowing for precise angular measurements.
