    Trigonometry on Khan Academy: Big, fancy word, right? Don't be fooled. Looking at the prefix, tri-, you could probably assume that trigonometry ("trig" as it's sometimes called) has something to do with triangles. You would be right! Trig is the study of the properties of triangles. Why is it important? It's used in measuring precise distances, particularly in industries like satellite systems and sciences like astronomy. It's not only space, however. Trig is present in architecture and music, too. Now you may wonder...how is knowing the measurement and properties of triangles relevant to music?? THAT is a great question. Maybe you'll learn the answer from us in these tutorials!

    I think radians should be taught from Primary School, rather than degrees. Radians are obviously intrinsic to the circle, whereas degrees are not. Alas, I still find it difficult to think in terms of radians.

      This is the core argument I make in my video covering Radians! It's a measure that incorporates only intrinsic properties of the circle!

      Have you heard of the number tau? It's represented with the Greek letter tau, which looks like this: τ
      τ is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its radius. This makes it 2 times π, or about 6.28.
      Using τ, one full rotation is τ radians. One-half of a full rotation is τ/2 radians. One-third of a full rotation is τ/3 radians. Whatever fraction of a full rotation you do, its measurement in radians is that same fraction of τ.
      If it helps, you can think of radians in terms of τ.

    I just had a "I UNDERSTAND" moment. I would have not resorted to these videos, along with the rest of the people here had teachers derived the meaning to mathematical concepts, instead of saying "here it is, use it". The amount of stupidity evident in today's education is absolutely mind-blowing, unfathomable. I can only but barley understand the teachers motives for not deriving and explaining where particular principles come from, that of which is they don't care, they want the paychecks and to go home. Fuck society man.

    On the topic of using Pi in division; that in and of itself is usually why people round it to 3.14, to the hundredths place, otherwise it takes literally forever, or almost, to reach the termination point/end point, of the formula.
    As you pointed out, Mr. Khan, a very interesting way to convert them; actually you have a better time dividing by zero than dividing by pi to the final digit.

    If you divide by pi you'll be dividing forever, unless you abrieviate pi at some point, because pi is a non-terminating, non-repeating decimal, so it goes on and on forever. In fact, for many decades they've had computers just trying to calculate the termination of pi.

    @Kenneth_H_Olsen 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    yeah. the interesting thing is that the formula for radians is 2* pi * r. Making it seem that one needs 2 pi then multiply with the radius. but actually it is not 2 of Pi, but 2 radiuses that make one diameter. Diameter * pi = 360 degrees. and r * pi = 180 degrees . the formula should be 2r* pi. If the radius is 0.5 units then one can wrap 6.28 radiuses around the circumference (or 2Pi), but 3.14 diameters around the circumference (or Pi, diameter being 2r or 2*0.5 = 1) . Just being picky but I think it is important . why would one need 2 rotations of pi, and a radius, when it is the double radius or diameter that is defining the circumference with pi ?
    would it be correct to say this :
    1. Radius is the number of times a radius is wrapped around the circumference .
    2. find the radian of 3 degrees.
    180 / 3 = 60
    Pi radian = 180
    Pi radian / 60 = 180 / 60
    0.05 rad = 3 degrees .

    But, Mr. Khan, a radian in theory could be frankly any size measurement compared to the circle that regards any angle that regards half or less of a straight angle, or even greater, as it only deals with the radius of said circle compared to the angle. Isn't that overall a rather poor quality measurement, considering the need for precision?
