The radian, denoted by the symbol rad, is the unit of angle in the International System of Units (SI) and is the standard unit of angular measure used in many areas of mathematics. It is defined such that one radian is the angle subtended at the center of a plane circle by an arc that is equal in length to the radius. The unit is defined in the SI as the coherent unit for plane angle, as well as for phase angle. Angles without explicitly specified units are generally assumed to be measured in radians, especially in mathematical writing.

![An arc of a [[circle]] with the same length as the [[radius]] of that circle subtends an ''angle'' of 1 radian. The circumference subtends an angle of 2{{math|[[pi|π]]}} radians.](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4e/Circle_radians.gif/250px-Circle_radians.gif)
