angular measurement

Angular measurement refers to the way we quantify angles, which are formed when two lines meet at a point. It's commonly measured in degrees, where a full circle is 360 degrees, or in radians, with a full circle being about 6.28 radians. Understanding angles is essential in various fields, such as geometry, navigation, and engineering. For example, a right angle is 90 degrees, while complementary angles are two angles that add up to 90 degrees. Angular measurement helps us describe shapes, determine direction, and analyze motion in both two and three dimensions.
