Radians & Degrees

Two units for the same rotation.

Concept

A radian is an arc of length r

Wrap the radius along the circle's edge; the angle it subtends is one radian. A full turn is 2π radians, which is also 360°.

So π radians = 180°, and every conversion is just multiplying by one of those two ratios.

rad = deg × π/180 · deg = rad × 180/π
