Math Problem Statement

convert the following radian measures to degrees: a. 4pi/3 Question Blank 1 of 5 type your answer... degrees b. 7pi/4 Question Blank 2 of 5 type your answer... degrees c. pi/2 Question Blank 3 of 5 type your answer... degrees d. -3pi/4 Question Blank 4 of 5 type your answer... degrees e. -2pi/3 Question Blank 5 of 5 type your answer... degrees

Solution

To convert radian measures to degrees, we use the conversion factor: 1 radian=180π1 \text{ radian} = \frac{180^\circ}{\pi}

Given this, we multiply the radian measure by 180π\frac{180^\circ}{\pi} to convert to degrees.

a. 4π3\frac{4\pi}{3} radians: 4π3×180π=4×1803=7203=240\frac{4\pi}{3} \times \frac{180^\circ}{\pi} = \frac{4 \times 180^\circ}{3} = \frac{720^\circ}{3} = 240^\circ

b. 7π4\frac{7\pi}{4} radians: 7π4×180π=7×1804=12604=315\frac{7\pi}{4} \times \frac{180^\circ}{\pi} = \frac{7 \times 180^\circ}{4} = \frac{1260^\circ}{4} = 315^\circ

c. π2\frac{\pi}{2} radians: π2×180π=1802=90\frac{\pi}{2} \times \frac{180^\circ}{\pi} = \frac{180^\circ}{2} = 90^\circ

d. 3π4-\frac{3\pi}{4} radians: 3π4×180π=3×1804=5404=135-\frac{3\pi}{4} \times \frac{180^\circ}{\pi} = -\frac{3 \times 180^\circ}{4} = -\frac{540^\circ}{4} = -135^\circ

e. 2π3-\frac{2\pi}{3} radians: 2π3×180π=2×1803=3603=120-\frac{2\pi}{3} \times \frac{180^\circ}{\pi} = -\frac{2 \times 180^\circ}{3} = -\frac{360^\circ}{3} = -120^\circ

So the conversions are:

  • 4π3\frac{4\pi}{3} radians = 240240^\circ
  • 7π4\frac{7\pi}{4} radians = 315315^\circ
  • π2\frac{\pi}{2} radians = 9090^\circ
  • 3π4-\frac{3\pi}{4} radians = 135-135^\circ
  • 2π3-\frac{2\pi}{3} radians = 120-120^\circ
