(D) Radian
Hope it helps
Answer: D
THE ANGLE SUBTENDED WILL BE IN RADIANS BUT ITS CONVERTED/ASSIGNED VALUE EQUALS 1 DEGREE.
Step-by-step explanation
total circumference of the circle 2r
dividing the circumference into 360 parts
=> 2r/360 =length of arc(subtending angle at centre)= r/180=L---1
now according to equation of arc we have:
θ=L/r---2
where θ= angle subtended at centre(in radian), L=length of arc, r =radius of circle. comparing equation 1 and 2 we get:
θ=(r/180)/r = /180 radians(NOTE: this is the value of 1 degree angle but IN TERMS OF RADIAN. A CONVERSION EQUATION => 1DEGREE = /180 RADIANS)
