What is the unit of measuring angle

Three units for measuring angles - degrees, radians and grads.
Explanation:
Angle can be measured in three ways.
1 - The most popular unit is degree, minutes and seconds. In this there are
90
degrees in a right angle or
360
degrees in a complete circle and for finer calculations, each degree is divided in
60
parts each called a minute , and further each minute is divided in
60
parts with each part being called a second
2 - We also use the unit radian. It is a bit complicated as in one complete circle there are
2
π
radians (
π
=
3.14159265359
...
...
.
) and
π
2
radians in each right angle. This is mostly use in mathematical calculations
3 - The third type of unit for measuring angles is grad (from gradient). This was an attempt to bring decimal system for angles, as each right angle was divided into
100
grads (and
400
grads for a circle). Further, each grad is divided in
100
parts each called a minute , and further each minute is divided in
100
parts with each part being called a second

Answer:
degree
Step-by-step explanation:
The concept of angle
The more familiar unit of measurement is that of degrees. A circle is divided into 360 equal DEGRESS, so that a right angle is 90°.
