Rant ahead:

 

So I'm doing SAT practice on Kahn Academy and there's a problem in DECIMAL RADIANS.

 

WHO THE HECK USES DECIMAL RADIANS

 

 

RADIANS ARE BASED AROUND PI

PI IS IRRATIONAL

 

USING DECIMAL RADIANS MAKES NO SENSE

 

Edit: here's a screenshot of the problem, I had to finish the practice before I could go back and look at it.

    Talking about some fancy math stuff I didnt pay attention in high school about and winged it the whole way.

    @VenomZ_  Radians are a measure of angle where PI radians = 180 Degrees.

     

    It is typically written in fractions of pi because pi is irrational (It has an infinitely long decimal that never repeats,) which makes it impossible to have exact decimal values for most common angles (like 90°, which is 1/2*pi radians, which would be 1.570796327... in decimal)

    I appreciate the time you took out of your day to explain this

    @VenomZ_ It's no problem. I'm a big math nerd so I enjoy it.
