Why do radians even exist? Why would you use them instead of degrees?
In: Mathematics
It’s kind of the same reason we have fractions and decimals. They are both useful in different scenarios. If you want to have a ration way to represent 1/3, we have the fraction to do that. If you want to have a value for an angle that doesn’t have pi attached to it at every level, we have degrees. But decimals and radians are much easier to work with in many systems of math.
