How Radians Work

I can take NO credit for this, but it was powerful and I would love to have it on reference if/when I ever teach Alg II, Trig, or Pre-Calc.

I tried to find the original source and found it on Wikimedia's open source files page:

It makes me feel better to know I'm not stealing someone's work without documenting it!

I am not writing lessons for this, as I think this is best left as an amazing resource for students and teachers when they need a visual way to explain and envision radians.
