-pi radians = -180^o

A radian is the angle subtended by an arc of a circle of length equal to the radius. If a circle has radius 1, then an angle of 1 radian defines an arc whose curved length is 1. 2pi radians will take you once round the circle.

Degrees divide the angle of a complete circle into 360 divisions. 360^o takes you once round the circle.

So 2pi radians is the same as 360^o and pi radians is 180^o.
