What is a Degree?
The Degree (°) is a measurement of a plane angle, defined so that a full rotation is 360 degrees. It is the most common unit for angle measurement in geometry and everyday measuring.
What is a Radian?
The Radian (rad) is the standard unit of angular measure, used in many areas of mathematics. An angle's measurement in radians is numerically equal to the length of a corresponding arc of a unit circle.
How to Convert Degree to Radian
To convert Degree to Radian, divide the Degree value by 57.
rad = ° ÷ 57Manual Calculation Steps
