Mammoth Memory

Radians and the good news

The good news is you don’t have to remember

1 radian =57.296

Because it is so easy to work out what the degrees are.

The circumference of a circle is 2?r which is an equivalent measure of 360 degrees

So if:

360=100% of circle 

   2πr=360

      1r=x  

 (Look at our section on percentages)

2πrr = 360x
x = 360×r2πr
x = 360×r2πr
x = 3602π
x = 57.296
