Formula for angle in radians?

θ=s/r, where θ is the angle in radians, s is the arc length, and r is the radius.

Radians in a complete turn?

A complete turn around the circle is equal to 2π radians.

Coterminal angles?

Angles that share the same initial and terminal sides, but differ in the amount of rotation.

Ratio of 45°-45°-90° triangle sides?

The sides are in the proportion 1:1:√2, where √2 is the hypotenuse.
