Degree measure
1 𝑡ℎ
If a rotation from the initial side to terminal side is (360) of a revolution, the angle is said to have a
measure of one degree, written as 1°. A degree is divided into 60 minutes, and a minute is divided into
60 seconds. One sixtieth of a degree is called a minute, written as 1’, and one sixtieth of a minute is
called a second, written as 1’’
Thus, 1° = 60’, 1 = 60″
Radian measure
Angle subtended at the centre by an arc of length 1 unit in a unit circle (circle of radius 1 unit) is said
to have a measure of 1 radian.
Relation between degree and radian
Since a circle subtends at the centre an angle whose radian measure is 2π and its degree measure is
360°, then
2π radian = 360° or π radian = 180°
