radian is measured as radio of arc  length to radius.  for a semicircle arc length=πr  so a semicircle subtends ((πr)/r)=π radians  at the center.  So π radians=180°.

$$\mathrm{radian}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{measured}\:\mathrm{as}\:\mathrm{radio}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{arc} \\ $$$$\mathrm{length}\:\mathrm{to}\:\mathrm{radius}. \\ $$$$\mathrm{for}\:\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{semicircle}\:\mathrm{arc}\:\mathrm{length}=\pi{r} \\ $$$$\mathrm{so}\:\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{semicircle}\:\mathrm{subtends}\:\frac{\pi{r}}{{r}}=\pi\:\mathrm{radians} \\ $$$$\mathrm{at}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{center}. \\ $$$$\mathrm{So}\:\pi\:\mathrm{radians}=\mathrm{180}°. \\ $$
