Math Problem Statement

What angle (in radians) corresponds to 0.25 rotations around the unit circle?

Solution

To determine the angle in radians corresponding to 0.250.25 rotations around the unit circle:

  1. A full rotation around the unit circle is 2π2\pi radians.
  2. Multiply the fraction of the rotation (0.250.25) by 2π2\pi: Angle in radians=0.25×2π=π2.\text{Angle in radians} = 0.25 \times 2\pi = \frac{\pi}{2}.

Final Answer:

The angle corresponding to 0.250.25 rotations is π2\frac{\pi}{2} radians.
