Obviously if you see stuff like multiples of 180, you should use degrees.

Multiples of pi, you should use radians.

What if neither is given?

Let's say the length of a circular arc is 1, with a radius of 2. What's the value of the angle?

Is it half a degree, or half a radian?

It's both. It either is or it isn't.

bump pls

Depends on context, but radians is standard in mathematics.
>>
>>9139422
well the radianis literally
1 radian = 1 radius of circular arc

so half a radian

I personally like radians the most, because i always end up saying (amount) [math]\pi[/math] Radians, as though the unit is [math]\pi[/math] radians instead of just radians.
and i guess fractions are fun to work with mathematically

The observer (radians) crafts the equation so they can interact with the observed (degrees)

The ratio between radians/degrees defines the observer/observed 'proximity'.

I use radian in long distance shooting. It's pretty 'dope' (lame shooting joke)
>>
>>9139691
Oops, I was so busy making a stupid joke I forgot to get to the point

I use radian because in my mathematically limited experience using both radian and degrees, the real world math for radian is more intuitive.

What are you, in fucking middle school?
If you need to ask this question and don't find the answer self evident than you need to go fucking kill yourself.

You future is voting for trump and mining for coal. You fucking waste of a human being.

Who BAM (binary angle measurement) here?
