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.
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.
That was a very good way of explaining this. I've been out of high school long enough to have forgotten a lot of trig. Now that I'm doing programming, this stuff is needed and these refresher videos really help (especially when they're well done like this one).
i knew from the moment our teacher started explaining this in class there'd be our lord and saviour, Sal Khan, who would explain this much, much better
The definition of the radian suddenly makes so much sense. I used radians in my calculations but I never really understood why they even bothered. Now my mind has been blown.
if u still don't get it don't worry just read the textbook or whatever and keep trying to understand and then watch the video...i swear you'll get it.I have been spending the whole day trying to understand this and now i finally get it.time taken-approx 6 hours.dude...
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.
amazingly explained. just wondering what radian is ? read some books but didn't get the satisfied answer and you really solved my problem. thanks for sharing :)
He already did a video on Tau versus Pi. He probably doesn't want to introduce too much at once when introducing the concept of radians. Though an aside about it in a future angular measure would be nice!
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.
While that would be very nice, it is an unfortunately reality that Kahn's lessons should help students out in the real world... and since the rest of the world is stuck on the idea of using Pi and only Pi, it would probably be a disservice to students to teach them the Tau method (i know it is very simple to translate from one to the other, but not for those who have never been exposed to radians/trig before)
thank you so much for making this so clear and being so friendly :) this really helped me. my maths teacher just gets angry when i don't understand things so stuff like this is a godsend :D
radians something i dont think everyone is associated with the term and i like it how your thinking out side the box with the alien thing, with looking at circles, Do you think this actually should be the model for looking at degreese in general in stead of useing our term the degreese of ?
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.
The Babylonians appear to have used a Base 12 numerical system, but 60 is equally easy to divide by the dozen as by the half-score, or by the full score.
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 .
I have a question if the unit circle is only 1 radius unit then why is 30 degrees or 60 or 90 written as square root 1/2. Squ2 / 2... etc over 2. Isn't a radian equal to arc length over radius ?? How is denominator 2 when the unit circle radius is always 1?
never mind the previous comment. i just took a second glace at your equation. you basically said the same thing except you didn't convert it to the exact number of degrees but that's fine i get it now

Same!
The concept is so easy yet it is still being a great task to understand the 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.
RAIDUSESESESESESESESESESESES, wow what a word
2:46 The moment I decided I liked the video... "I'm gonna attempt to draw a circle here....... *wobbly circle*...... not baaaaaad"
aw. I was so excited to comment RAAAADIUSSSES then I saw the comments section and was like...yeah nvm
I’m in the exact same situation.
Ikr😂
same
That was a very good way of explaining this.
I've been out of high school long enough to have forgotten a lot of trig. Now that I'm doing programming, this stuff is needed and these refresher videos really help (especially when they're well done like this one).
98% comments = radiuseseseses
More like 60
i knew from the moment our teacher started explaining this in class there'd be our lord and saviour, Sal Khan, who would explain this much, much better
U saying radiuseseseseseseseses drove me insane, I literally couldn’t pay attention to the video 😂
I was abt to say that
he literally wrote down the plural, it radians... IT'S RADIANS
same and i was playing at 1.25 so it made it worse
Lol you’re correct ,but he’s explaining it well
@@sarahkenza3883 radii?

What are RADIUESESESESE?
listen to that part at video speed x2 and you'll find out what it means... its means hes part snake or should i say slytherin....
Radii
RADIUESESESESE
i thought i was the only one!!! lol
micheal jordan It's been a week, but... You don't have to watch it to understand, but it would definitely help
2:23 To sum DEGREE! Lol!
Ali Muhammed I
Sub to me and i sub to u~
i never appreciate your circle drawing skills until i have to draw a circle myself
Radiuseseses?!? Radii! Radii! Radieye! RADI👁!
Absolutely!
Yup - which is weird since I've heard him say "radii" multiple times in other videos. Is he just being funny? I don't get it.
if u still don't get it don't worry just read the textbook or whatever and keep trying to understand and then watch the video...i swear you'll get it.I have been spending the whole day trying to understand this and now i finally get it.time taken-approx 6 hours.dude...

very helpful! cracked me up every time he said radiuseseseses =)
You haven't lost yet and you have more to achieve
I'm taking a trigonometry class right now and this explains so much thank you
radiuseseses...
radiuseseseseseses
I got ~57.2957795131 degrees per radian using a calculator and pi as far as it would go (3.141592653589793).
My teacher recorded a few videos during quarantine and I never watched them cuz these are so much better☺️
"just to show u this isn't voodo" 😂😂😂😂
Had me rolling
hahahah
The kinds of things that make me a stickler to learn from these videos
I learned alot today, Radiuseseseses are very important...😂😂😂😂
❤I know, the video was uploaded ten years ago but it had something that made me keep watching it till the end. ❤
I was so focused in much in math that I forgot you teach like everything in the world.
this video is clear!
save my life from digging into textbook:P
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".

where u from?how u doin now
@@namraaah271 HOPE he's ok. It's been a lot of time :0
A great explanation!
Khan Academy is a great place to learn.
On average he said "ses" 3.333 times.
4:32, 5:09, 5:50, 6:22, 6:44, 6:46, 7:07, 7:13, 8:36
4, 1, 5, 4, 3, 3, 5, 2, 3
This was explained amazingly well. I don't think any of my teachers ever explained this, neither in grade school or college.
I wanted to plug my own video attempt where I explain this concept, but I have nothing to add. Great video! :D
Clear, easy, with background. Thanks :)
Thank you so much your video made so much more sense than my teacher 🙏
7:34 degrees-es-es
this is great GOD BLESS
Even though it's a 11 years vídeo, this explained radians very well that I understand very clearly
your lectures are very easy to understan
amazingly explained. just wondering what radian is ? read some books but didn't get the satisfied answer and you really solved my problem. thanks for sharing :)
So what is radian cuz i dont understand
I swear, I could never have gotten anywhere in math were it not for Khan Academy and Teaching Textbooks
That was really nice. Many teachers just tell to remember this without informing about proper concept. But u r gr8.. Thank you a lot❤
Nobody:
Sal: I think it's intuitive, cause in an intuitive response I'll intuitively intuitive.
Me: A video on what intuitive means?
Fantastic explanation. I study as well as teach physics. I couldn't have done it better myself. Congratulations.
how successfull are you to make things easier to understand..
Thanks for this explanation. I'm taking a coding class and this was very helpful.
Thanks this is going to help me with my Core 2 A-level exams alot! :)
What program do they use for the drawing?
He is good in explaining really
Much better than me😫😂
This video very helpful. 👍🏻

It is more commonly known as Arc Length. It is represented with an S and can be found using S = theta * radius
Thanks for the explanation.
how neatly u write on this is mind blown

THIS IS SOOOOO GOOD !.... AND IT'S 7 YEARS AGO !!!!
Awesome, thanks! Finally got radians!
thanks for all the -radiuseses- radii
Thank Gosh this exists
Having motivation behind ideas (rather than just memorizing them) makes Khan Academy amazing!
I respect u a lot.... Thank u❤️
You made a good video...👍 Made me understand the radian concept.
I love the way u teach!! wish all the teachers were just like u
thank you so much for making this so clear and being so friendly :) this really helped me. my maths teacher just gets angry when i don't understand things so stuff like this is a godsend :D
Thank you so MUCH !
Whenever he said sixty symbols I couldn't stop thinking about Brady's Channel.
Explained brilliantly
Very well explained!! Logical and easy to follow :)
Nice video! Straightforward and easy to understand

great video. best I've seen on the subject so far. thanks!
If a right degree angle was actually measured as 100 degrees, our life would be so much easier
How?? I think itll be chaotic. Yes ik, 5 years ago.
The Babylonians appear to have used a Base 12 numerical system, but 60 is equally easy to divide by the dozen as by the half-score, or by the full score.

Great video really informative.Great Easter egg
yay i understand it much better
That's a better circle than i've ever drawn

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 .
The order of the factors doesn't affect the product ;)

this guy really has some sense of humour 😀😀
Wow nice video keep it up .
We want more videos like tz
u r great bro

If people will keep thinking like this, Pi will never change to Tau.
