A
 A complete revolution, i.e. when the initial and terminal

sides are in the same position after rotating clockwise or

anticlockwise, is divided into 360 units called degrees. So,

if the rotation from the initial side to the terminal side is

(1/360)th of a revolution, then the angle is said to have a

measure of one degree. It is denoted as 1°.

A
 Radian measure is slightly more complex than the

degree measure. Imagine a circle with a radius of 1

unit. Next, imagine an arc of the circle having a

length of 1 unit. The angle subtended by this arc at

the centre of the circle has a measure of 1 radian.
