Angle, Radians

The radian is a unit of plane angle. It is represented by the symbol "rad" or, more rarely, by the superscript c (for "circular measure"). For example, an angle of 1.2 radians would be written "1.2 rad" or "1.2c ". The radian was formerly an SI supplementary unit, but this category was abolished from the SI system in 1995. For measuring solid angles, see steradian. Nowadays, radian is the de facto unit of plane angles for mathematicians, and the symbol "rad" is usually omitted in mathematicial writings. When using degrees, the ° symbol is used to distinguish it from radians. Read more >>

An angle is the figure formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint, called the vertex of the angle. Angles provide a means of expressing the difference in slope between two rays meeting at a vertex without the need to explicitly define the slopes of the two rays. Angles are studied in geometry and trigonometry. Read more >>
