The statement is incorrect. When determining radian measure, the units for the length of the intercepted arc and the radius do not have to be the same.

In fact, the radian measure is calculated by dividing the length of the intercepted arc by the radius. The result is a unitless quantity, as the units for the length of the arc and the radius cancel out. This is because radians are defined as the ratio of the arc length to the radius.
