Example Questions

Example Question #1 : Using Radians

Give in radians:

$\frac{x+\pi}{x-\pi}=30^{\circ}$

Possible Answers:

$x=\frac{\pi(\pi+6)}{\pi-6}$

$x=\frac{\pi(\pi-6)}{\pi+6}$

$x=\frac{\pi(\pi+8)}{\pi-8}$

$x=\frac{\pi+6}{\pi-6}$

Correct answer:

$x=\frac{\pi(\pi+6)}{\pi-6}$

Explanation:

First we need to convert degrees to radians by multiplying by $\frac{\pi}{180^{\circ}}$ :

$30^{\circ}\times \frac{\pi}{180^{\circ}}=\frac{\pi}{6}$

Now we can write:

$\frac{x+\pi}{x-\pi}=\frac{\pi}{6}\Rightarrow 6(x+\pi)=\pi(x-\pi)$

$\Rightarrow 6x+6\pi=x\pi-\pi^2\Rightarrow 6x-x\pi=-6\pi-\pi^2$

$\Rightarrow x(6-\pi)=-\pi(\pi+6)$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{-\pi(\pi+6)}{6-\pi}=\frac{\pi(\pi+6)}{\pi-6}$

Example Question #2 : Circles

Give in radians:

$\frac{72^{\circ}-\pi}{2x-\pi}=3$

Possible Answers:

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

$x=\frac{4\pi}{5}$

$x=\frac{3\pi}{5}$

$x=\frac{2\pi}{5}$

Correct answer:

$x=\frac{2\pi}{5}$

Explanation:

First, we need to convert $72^{\circ}$ to radians by multiplying by $\frac{\pi}{180^{\circ}}$ :

$72^{\circ}\times \frac{\pi}{180^{\circ}}=\frac{2\pi}{5}$

Now we can solve the following equation for :

$\frac{72^{\circ}-\pi}{2x-\pi}=3\Rightarrow \frac{\frac{2\pi}{5}-\pi}{2x-\pi}=3$

$\Rightarrow {\frac{2\pi}{5}-\pi}=3(2x-\pi)\Rightarrow \frac{2\pi-5\pi}{5}=6x-3\pi$

$\Rightarrow -3\pi=30x-15\pi\Rightarrow 30x=12\pi$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{12\pi}{30}\Rightarrow x=\frac{2\pi}{5}$

Example Question #2 : Circles

How many degrees are in $\frac{5\pi}{6}$ radians?

Possible Answers:

$180^\circ$

$130^\circ$

$150^\circ$

$210^\circ$

Correct answer:

$150^\circ$

Explanation:

Since $180^\circ=\pi\ \text{radians}$ , we can solve by setting up a proportion:

$\frac{x}{\frac{5\pi}{6}}=\frac{180^\circ}{\pi}$

Cross multiply and solve.

$180^\circ*\frac{5\pi}{6}=x*\pi$

$\frac{900\pi}{6}=x*\pi$

$150\pi=x*\pi$

$\frac{150\pi}{\pi}=x$

$150^\circ=x$

Example Question #3 : Circles

Change the following expression to degrees:

$\frac{\frac{\pi}{3}-\frac{\pi}{6}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{6}}$

Possible Answers:

$120^{\circ}$

$75^{\circ}$

$90^{\circ}$

$60^{\circ}$

Correct answer:

$60^{\circ}$

Explanation:

First, we need to simplify the expression:

$\frac{\frac{\pi}{3}-\frac{\pi}{6}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{6}}=\frac{\frac{2\pi-\pi}{6}}{\frac{2+1}{6}}=\frac{\pi}{3}$

Now multiply by $\frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}$ :

$\frac{\pi}{3}\times \frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}=\frac{180^{\circ}}{3}=60^{\circ}$

Example Question #1 : Using Radians

Convert the following expression to radians:

$\frac{45^{\circ}+30^{\circ}}{45-30}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{\pi}{36}$

$\frac{\pi}{30}$

$\frac{7\pi}{36}$

$\frac{5\pi}{36}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{\pi}{36}$

Explanation:

First, we need to simplify the expression:

$\frac{45^{\circ}+30^{\circ}}{45-30}=\frac{75^{\circ}}{15}=5^{\circ}$

In order to change degrees to radians, we need to multiply by $\frac{\pi}{180^{\circ}}$ :

$5^{\circ}\times \frac{\pi}{180^{\circ}}=\frac{\pi}{36}$

Example Question #5 : Using Radians

Simplify and give the following expression in degrees:

$\frac{\frac{2\pi}{7}+\frac{\pi}{14}}{\frac{1}{7}}$

Possible Answers:

$420^{\circ}$

$480^{\circ}$

$450^{\circ}$

$350^{\circ}$

Correct answer:

$450^{\circ}$

Explanation:

First, we need to simplify the expression:

$\frac{\frac{2\pi}{7}+\frac{\pi}{14}}{\frac{1}{7}}=\frac{\frac{4\pi+\pi}{14}}{\frac{1}{7}}=\frac{5\pi}{2}$

Then multiply by $\frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}$ :

$\frac{5\pi}{2}\times \frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}=\frac{5\times 180^{\circ}}{2}=450^{\circ}$

Example Question #5 : Using Radians

Convert $\frac{7\pi}{4}$ radians into degrees.

Possible Answers:

$285$^{\circ}$$

$225$^{\circ}$$

$345$^{\circ}$$

$315$^{\circ}$$

Correct answer:

$315$^{\circ}$$

Explanation:

Recall the definition of "radians" derived from the unit circle:

$180$^{\circ}$ = \pi rad$

The quantity of radians given in the problem is $\frac{7\pi}{4}$ . All that is required to convert this measure into degrees is to denote the unknown angle measure in degrees by $\Theta$ and set up a proportion equation using the aforementioned definition relating radians to degrees:

$\frac{180^{\circ}}{\Theta} = \frac{\pi rad}{\frac{7\pi}{4} rad}$

Cross-multiply the denominators in these fractions to obtain:

$1260^{\circ}\pi rad=4\Theta\pi rad$

$315^{\circ}\pi rad =\Theta\pi rad$ .

Canceling like terms in these equations yields

$\Theta = 315^{\circ}$

Hence, the correct angle measure of $\frac{7\pi}{4}$ in degrees is $315^{\circ}$ .

Example Question #1 : Using Radians

$\frac{37\pi}{18}$ radians is equivalent to how many degrees?

Possible Answers:

$350^\circ$

$185^\circ$

$10^\circ$

$370^\circ$

Correct answer:

$370^\circ$

Explanation:

1 radian is equal to $\frac{180}{\pi}$ degrees. Using this conversion factor,

$\frac{37\pi}{18}\times\frac{180}{\pi}=37\times10=370$ .

Example Question #1 : Using Radians

Simplify your answer.

Convert $45^{\circ}$ to radians:

Possible Answers:

$\frac{\pi }{4}$

$\frac{\pi }{8}$

$\frac{1 }{4}$

$\frac{\pi }{2}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{\pi }{4}$

Explanation:

We know that:

$360^{\circ}=2\pi$ Radians

since the giving angle was in degrees then we multiply

$45^{\circ}*\frac{\pi}{180^{\circ}}= \frac{\pi}{4}$

Example Question #2 : Using Radians

Give your answer in terms of $\pi$ .

Convert $165^{\circ}$ to radians:

Possible Answers:

$\frac{12\pi}{11}$

$\frac{11\pi}{24}$

$\frac{11\pi}{12}$

$\frac{11\pi}{6}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{11\pi}{12}$

Explanation:

To convert degrees to radians, we need to multiply the given degree by $\frac{\pi}{180^{\circ}}$ .

$165*^{\circ}\frac{\pi}{180^{\circ}}=\frac{165\pi}{180}$

To simplify, we get:

$\frac{11\pi}{12}$
