ANGLE
We divide the circumference of a circle into 360 equal arcs. The angle
subtended at the centre of the circle by one arc is called one degree and is
denoted be 1°. Similarly 1' denotes a minute and 1'' denotes a second in
sexagecimal system of angle measurement.
The following equations show the relationships of degree, minute and
second with each other.
1 degree = 60
minutes (60')
One complete revolution = 360∘

Angle of π radians
An angle of 180° is equal to a π amount of radians. This means that the
amount of radians of a full circle equals to 2π. 2π therefore is 2•180° =
360°.
1/π part of half a circle of 180°. Now when we calculate the angle of a
radian we get the formula: 1/π•180°.
