How to Convert Degrees to Radians?
Value of 180° is equal to π radians. For converting the given angle from degrees to radians, we multiply the value of the angle in degrees by a factor of π/180.
Where the value of π = 22/7 or 3.14
Steps shown below are used for the conversion of angle in degrees to radians.
Step 1: Mark the value of the given angle in degrees
Step 2: Multiply the value obtained from the above step by π/180
Step 3: Solve the expression and rationalize the answer
Step 4: The result obtained is the measure of the angle in radian
Example: Convert 60 degrees to radians.
Solution:
Given angle is 60 degrees
Angle in radian = Angle in degree x (π/180)
= 60 x (π/180)
= π/3
Hence, 60 degrees is equal to π/3 in radian.
Radians to Degrees
Radians to Degrees: Radians to degrees is a type of transformation used in geometry to convert angle measurements. There are two alternative methods for measuring an angle. Radians and degrees are the two units used to measure angles. Radian is the most commonly used unit in trigonometry. Various types of angles are measured in radians and then converted to degrees using a formula. This formula is discussed below.
