How to convert degrees to radians? Give examples

Solution

To convert degrees to radians, use the following formula:

Radians=Degrees×π180\text{Radians} = \text{Degrees} \times \frac{\pi}{180}

Example 1: Convert 9090^\circ to radians

90×π180=π2 radians90^\circ \times \frac{\pi}{180} = \frac{\pi}{2} \text{ radians}

Example 2: Convert 4545^\circ to radians

45×π180=π4 radians45^\circ \times \frac{\pi}{180} = \frac{\pi}{4} \text{ radians}

Example 3: Convert 120120^\circ to radians

120×π180=2π3 radians120^\circ \times \frac{\pi}{180} = \frac{2\pi}{3} \text{ radians}

Example 4: Convert 270270^\circ to radians

270×π180=3π2 radians270^\circ \times \frac{\pi}{180} = \frac{3\pi}{2} \text{ radians}

Example 5: Convert 360360^\circ to radians

360×π180=2π radians360^\circ \times \frac{\pi}{180} = 2\pi \text{ radians}

Summary:

To convert degrees to radians, multiply the degree value by π180\frac{\pi}{180}.
