Does anyone know an easier way of memorizing the circle radians? Having a hard time figuring out how to study for that.

Step-by-step explanation:

I find it easiest to remember one or two facts and use those to figure others when needed. The primary fact I remember is

π radians = 180°

__

From this, you can determine ...

360° = 2π radians

90° = π/2 radians

60° = π/3 radians

45° = π/4 radians

30° = π/6 radians

The other angles on your chart are multiples of 30° or 45°, so will be corresponding multiples of π/6 or π/4 radians, respectively.
