Is the measure of an angle dependent upon the unit of length?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`theta "(radian)"=("Arc")/("Radius")`
As an angle is the ratio of the length of an arc and the radius i.e., it is the ratio of two lengths, so that measure of an angle does not depend upon the units of length.
