Answer to Problem 89E
Radian system
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The angles measuring system using degrees, with
Calculation:
The advantage of the system based on
The favoured system by far among mathematicians and scientists is the radian system. It is much easier to deal with in equations than the other two. And it is a more fundamental system, in that the length of an arc subtended by an angle in the unit circle is, in fact, equation to the angle measured in radians.
