It is generally assumed in both mathematics and computing that an angle is
measured in radians unless otherwise stated. I think all programming
languages work that way, although some have an "angle mode" which can be set
to degrees by default.

Besides, it already covered in the documentation. The following text is
taken from "info libm":

`sin' and `cos' compute (respectively) the sine and cosine of the
argument X.  Angles are specified in radians.
