Example Question #7 : Using Radians
Convert
radians into degrees.
Recall the definition of "radians" derived from the unit circle:
The quantity of radians given in the problem is
. All that is required to convert this measure into degrees is to denote the unknown angle measure in degrees by and set up a proportion equation using the aforementioned definition relating radians to degrees:
Cross-multiply the denominators in these fractions to obtain:
or
.
Canceling like terms in these equations yields
Hence, the correct angle measure of
in degrees is .Example Question #8 : Using Radians
radians is equivalent to how many degrees?
1 radian is equal to
degrees. Using this conversion factor,.
Example Question #9 : Using Radians
Simplify your answer.
Convert
to radians:
We know that:
Radians
since the giving angle was in degrees then we multiply
