Question

Convert $50^{\circ}$ to radians.

Answer

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.

$\frac{50^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}=\frac{x}{2\pi }$

$360x=2\pi (50)$

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

Question

Megan, a civil engineer, measures the angle made by the angle of a road. She finds the angle to be $114^{\circ}$ . What is the angle in radians?

Answer

Megan, a civil engineer, measures the angle made by the angle of a road. She finds the angle to be $114^{\circ}$ . What is the angle in radians?

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

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

Where and stand for degrees and radians, respectively.

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

So we get

$0.6\bar{3}\pi :\uptext{radians}$

Question

While SCUBA diving as part of a search and rescue diving operation, Daniel is responsible for covering a sector which represents $\frac{5\pi}{6}$ radians. What is this angle in degrees?

Answer

While SCUBA diving as part of a search and rescue diving operation, Daniel is responsible for covering a sector which represents $\frac{5\pi}{6}$ radians. What is this angle in degrees?

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!

$d=\frac{180(\frac{5\pi}{6})}{\pi}=150^{\circ}$

So our answer is: $150^{\circ}$

Question

Terry is running around a circular track. If he covers $\frac{7\pi}{6} radians$ in 120 seconds, how many degrees has he covered?

Answer

Terry is running around a circular track. If he covers $\frac{7\pi}{6} radians$ in 120 seconds, how many degrees has he covered?

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!

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

Making our answer:

$210^{\circ}$

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

Determine the value of $225^\circ$ in radians.

Answer

To convert from degrees to radians, you do:

Question

Convert the following to radians.

$270^{\circ}$

Answer

To solve, use the conversion factor $\frac{\pi{radians}}{180^{\circ}}$ . Thus,

$\frac{270^{\circ}}{1}\cdot \frac{\pi{radians}}{180^{\circ}}=\frac{270\pi}{180}=\frac{3\pi}{2}$

Question

Convert $660^{\circ}$ to radians.

Answer

To convert from degrees to radians, you must multiply by $\frac{\pi }{180}$ : $660\cdot \frac{\pi }{180}$ . Then, multiply across as you do normally with fractions. Try and simplify if you can. In this case, 60 goes into both 660 and 180.

Thus, your answer is $\frac{11\pi }{3}$ .

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question
