To convert between degrees and radians, you must use the following conversion factor 180 degrees = pi radians.

Therefore:

$\frac{1140}{1}$*$\frac{\pi}{180}$=\frac{1140\pi}{180}$=\frac{19\pi}{3}$

Please convert the following angle to degrees:

In order to convert from radians to degrees, we will need to know how many degrees are in a radian.

$\pi \textup{ radians} = 180 \textup{ degrees}$

Substitute 180 as a replacement for $\pi$ .

$$\frac{3\pi}{7}$ = $\frac{3\times 180}{7}$ = $\frac{540}{7}$ = 77.1429$

The correct answer is .

Convert to radians.

To convert degrees to radians we must recall the conversion factor. Remember that $360^\circ=2\pi$ .

Therefore, we can create the following fraction and solve for the missing variable.

$360x=2\pi (50)$

$x=\frac{5\pi }{18}$$

To convert from degrees to radians, use the following formula:

$$\frac{d\pi}{180}$=r$

Where and stand for degrees and radians, respectively.

$r=\frac{114\pi}{180}$=0.6\bar{3}\pi:\up$\text{radians}$$

So we get

$0.6\bar{3}\pi :\up$\text{radians}$$

Recall the following formula for converting radians to degrees:

$d=\frac{180r}{\pi}$$

Where d and r are angle measures in degrees and radians, respectively.

So, we are given a value in radians and asked to find it in degrees. Plug in to the above formula to find the answer!

So our answer is:

To convert from radians to degrees, use the following helpful formula:

$d=\frac{180r}{\pi}$$

Where r and d are our desired angle measure in radians and degrees, respectively.

So, we have r, plug in and simplify to get d!

$d=\frac{180\frac{7\pi}{6}$ $}{\pi}=\frac{30*7\pi}{\pi}$=210^{\circ}$$
