    This document discusses converting between degrees and radians. Some key points: 1) 1 full revolution is equal to 360 degrees or 2π radians. This allows converting between the two units using formulas like degrees x π/180 = radians. 2) Common degree-radian equivalents are 180 degrees = π radians and 90 degrees = π/2 radians. 3) To convert degrees to radians, multiply the degree measure by π/180. To convert radians to degrees, multiply the radian measure by 180/π.

    Lesson 1C. DEGREES TO RADIANS MEASURE Or VISE VERSA

      In geometry, both degree and radian represent the measure of an angle. One
    complete anticlockwise revolution can be represented by 2π (in radians) or 360° (in
    degrees). Therefore, degree and radian can be equated as:
    2π = 360°
    And
    π = 180°
    Hence, from the above equation, we can say, 180 degrees is equal to π radian.
    Usually, in general geometry, we consider the measure of the angle in degrees
    (°). Radian is commonly considered while measuring the angles of trigonometric
    functions or periodic functions. Radians is always represented in terms of pi, where
    the value of pi is equal to 22/7 or 3.14.
    A degree has its sub-parts also, stated as minutes and seconds. This conversion
    is the major part of Trigonometry applications.
    Degrees x π/180 = Radians
    Radians  × 180/π = Degrees
    360 Degrees = 2π Radians
    180 Degrees = π Radians

    How to Convert Degrees to Radians?


    The value of 180° is equal to π radians. To convert any given angle from the
    measure of degrees to radians, the value has to be multiplied by π/180.

    Where the value of π = 22/7 or 3.14


    Below steps show the conversion of angle in degree measure to radians.
    Step 1: Write the numerical value of measure of angle given in degrees
    Step 2: Now, multiply the numeral value written in the step 1 by π/180
    Step 3: Simplify the expression by cancelling the common factors of the numerical
    Step 4: The result obtained after the simplification will be the angle measure in radians
    Let’s have a look at the examples of conversions of different angle measures.

    Example 1: Convert 90 degrees to radians.


    Solution:
    Given, 90 degrees is the angle
    Angle in radian = Angle in degree x (π/180)
    = 90 x (π/180)
    = π/2
    Hence, 90 degrees is equal to π/2 in radian.

    Radians to degrees Conversion


    As we have already discussed, how to convert degrees to radians for any
    specific angle. Now, let us see how we can convert radians to degrees for any specific
    angle. The formula to convert radians to degrees is given by:
    Radians  × (180/π) = Degrees
    Example 2: Convert π/6 into degrees.
    Solution: Using the formula:
    π/6 × (180/π) = 180/6
    Therefore π/6 = 30 degrees

    Radian to Degree Equation


    As we know already, one complete revolution, counter clockwise, in an XY plane,
    will be equal to 2π (in radians) or 360° (in degrees). Therefore, both degree and radian
    can form an equation, such that:
    2π = 360°
    Or 
    π = 180°
    Degrees to Radian Formula
    To convert degrees to radian, we can use the same formula as given in the
    above section.
    Degree x π/180 = Radian
    Let us see some examples:

    Example 3: Convert 15 degrees to radians.


    Solution: Using the formula, 150 x π/180 = π/12
    Example 4: Convert 330 degrees to radians.
    Solution: Using the formula, 330 x π/180 = 11π/6

    Negative Degrees to Radian


    The method to convert a negative degree into radian is the same as we have done for
    positive degrees. Multiply the given value of the angle in degrees by π/180.
    Suppose, -180 degrees has to be converted into radian, then,
    Radian = (π/180) x  (degrees)
    Radian = (π/180) x (-180°)
    Angle in radian = – π
