Examples
- The surveyor carefully recorded the measurements in decimal degrees, a widely used angular unit for calculating land boundaries.
- Radian is an angular unit commonly employed in mathematical calculations and computer algorithms for angle manipulation.
- To facilitate data entry, the astronomical database standardized its use of an angular unit to equatorial coordinates expressed in radians.
- Measurements expressed in grads, a relatively rare angular unit, require a thorough review by qualified mathematicians.
- Circular measure's basic angular unit, one hundred grads or right angle in full circles, posed challenging implementation requirements for calculations and charts.
