Card 0 of 20

Question

Convert $\frac{8\pi}{3}$ radians to degrees.

Answer

Write the conversion factor between radians and degrees.

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

Cancel the radians unit by using dimensional analysis.

$(\frac{8\pi}{3} \textup{ radians })(\frac{180 \textup{ degrees}}{\pi \textup{ radians}}) = 480 \textup{ degrees}$

Question

Determine the angle $\theta$ in degres made in the plane by connecting a line segment from the origin to .

Assume $\theta >0$

Answer

Firstly, since the point is in the 3rd quadrant, it'll be between and . If we take to be the horizontal, we can form a triangle with base and leg of values and . Solving for the angle in the 3rd quadrant given by $\gamma$ ,

$tan(\gamma)=\frac{-1}{-1}=1$

Question

Find the degree measure of $\frac{11}{8} \pi$ radians. Round to the nearest integer.

Answer

In order to solve for the degree measure from radians, replace the $\pi$ radians with 180 degrees.

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

$\frac{11}{8} (180) = \frac{11\times 45}{2} = \frac{495}{2}= 247.5$
