Unit Note: While the
unit “” must be written
for degrees, no unit is
generally written for
1° radians (but if so, use r
“rad”). 1 rad
Definition of a radian
A
Take an arc, AB, of the
5 cm
circumference of a circle. 5 cm
Thinking about how many radii around the circumference we can go: rad

consists of a straight edge of length 2.4m, and
a curved part , as shown in the diagram. The
curve part is an arc of a circle, centre and
