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°

Common Angle Values

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)
