Answer:

A radian is a unit of measurement that measures the central angle of a circle. A central angle measuring one radian intercepts or forms an arc whose length is equal to the radius of the circle.

"Radians" are unit of angular measure used in mathematics. It is a measure based on the "Radius" of the circle (Radius is the straight line from the center of the circle to the circumference of a circle).
Radian is the angle made when we take the radius and wrap it around the circle. (It is the plane angle subtended by a circular arc as the length of the arc divided by the radius of the arc.)
The radian is represented by the symbol rad.
