Angle Unit Relationships
1 full circle = 360° = 2π rad = 400 gon
1 degree (°) = π/180 rad ≈ 0.01745 rad
1 radian (rad) = 180°/π ≈ 57.296°
1 gradian (gon) = 0.9° = π/200 rad
1 turn = 360° = 2π rad = 400 gon
1 arc minute (') = 1/60° ≈ 0.01667°
1 arc second (") = 1/3600° ≈ 0.000278°
1 milliradian = 0.001 rad ≈ 0.05729°

Trigonometric Relationships
• Radians are the "natural" unit for trigonometric functions
• π radians = 180° (half circle)
• 2π radians = 360° (full circle)
• Arc length = radius × angle (in radians)
• 1 radian ≈ 57.3° (the angle that creates an arc equal to the radius)
