Example Question #582 : New Sat
Convert radians to degrees.
Use the conversion .
Since we are converting radians to degrees, multiply by 180 degrees and divide by radians.
Example Question #21 : Circles
How many degrees is 3 radians?
None of these other answers.
When going from radians to degrees one multiplies by the conversion factor
.
The radians cancel and the answer is left in degrees.
Example Question #22 : Circles
Convert to radians:
To convert to radians, set up the ratio :
Example Question #23 : Circles
Convert to degrees:
To convert, divide by and multiply by :
Example Question #24 : Circles
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 #24 : Circles
radians is equivalent to how many degrees?
1 radian is equal to degrees. Using this conversion factor,
.
Example Question #28 : Circles
Convert into radians.
Recall that there are 360 degrees in a circle which is equivalent to radians. In order to convert between radians and degrees use the relationship that,
Thus, in order to convert from degrees to radians you need to multiply by .
So in this particular case,
.
Example Question #25 : Radians And Conversions
Convert into radians.
Recall that there are 360 degrees in a circle which is equivalent to radians. In order to convert between radians and degrees use the relationship that,
Thus, in order to convert from degrees to radians you need to multiply by .
So in this particular case,
.
