So far, you have measured angles in
degrees. You can also measure angles
in radians.
A radian is a unit of angle measure based on arc
length. Recall from geometry that an arc is an
unbroken part of a circle. If a central angle θ in a
circle of radius r, then the measure of θ is defined
as 1 radian.
Holt McDougal Algebra 2
10-3 The Unit Circle
The circumference of a
circle of radius r is 2r.
Therefore, an angle
representing one complete
clockwise rotation
measures 2 radians. You
can use the fact that 2
radians is equivalent to
360° to convert between
radians and degrees.

Reading Math
Angles measured in radians are often not labeled
with the unit. If an angle measure does not have
a degree symbol, you can usually assume that
the angle is measured in radians.

A unit circle is a circle
with a radius of 1 unit.
For every point P(x, y) on
the unit circle, the value
of r is 1. Therefore, for an
angle θ in the standard
position:

So the coordinates of
P can be written as
(cosθ, sinθ).
