The circumference of a circle is 2πr where r is the radius.
The area of a circle is πr² where r is the radius.
A complete circle is 2 π radians. One radian is about 57.2957795 degrees, measured counterclockwise from due east. Java’s Math. sin and Math.cos etc. work in radians.
There are two convenience methods for interconverting degress and radians.
// built-in radians <-> degrees methods. public static double toDegrees ( double angleInRadians ); public static double toRadians ( double angleInDegrees );
