Radian
A radian is the standard unit of angular measure in mathematics, defined as the angle subtended at the center of a circle by an arc equal in length to the circle's radius.
History/Origin
The radian was introduced in the 19th century as a natural unit of angular measurement based on the properties of circles, providing a more mathematically convenient measure than degrees.
Current Use
Radians are widely used in mathematics, physics, and engineering for calculations involving angles, trigonometry, and periodic functions, serving as the standard angular unit in many scientific contexts.
Right Angle
A right angle is an angle of exactly 90 degrees, representing a quarter turn.
History/Origin
The concept of the right angle has been used since ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians and Greeks, who formalized its measurement and significance in geometry and architecture.
Current Use
Right angles are fundamental in geometry, construction, engineering, and design, serving as a standard for perpendicularity and right-angled structures.
