Short background on the units used in this conversion.
A radian is the SI unit of angle — the angle subtended when arc length equals radius, about 57.3 degrees.
Radians appear in trigonometry, physics formulas, and programming math libraries.
A gradian (gon) divides a right angle into 100 equal parts — 400 gradians equal a full circle.
Gradians appear in some European surveying tools and military angle notation.
