  • Question
    How do I derive the formula for the conversion of degrees to radians?
    Anan Shah
    Community Answer
    Simply: π=180 or π=180*1 degree and therefore, 1degree= π/180, thus, degree measure= radian measure * π/180.
  • Question
    What is 63 degree 14 min 51 sec in radian form?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    First convert the angle to a decimal. There are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in a degree, and 3600 seconds (60 x 60) in a degree. 14 minutes 51 seconds equals 891 seconds, which is 891/3600 of a degree or .2475 degree. For simplicity, let's call that ¼ of a degree. Therefore, the angle in question is 63¼ degrees. As shown in the above article, 63¼° multiplied by (π/180) = 1.1 radians.
  • Question
    What is 1085 degrees in radian form?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    1085° = 6.0277 radians. 1080° is equivalent to three complete circles, 1085° is the same angle as 5° and 0.0277 radian.

    Multiply the number of radians by 180°. For example, 2 radians equal 360°. 5 radians equal 900°.
  • Question
    What is 22550 degrees in radians form?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    In general, multiply degrees by 0.0175 to get radians (1,691.25 radians in this case). If you prefer to treat multiple full circles (as in this case) as less than a full circle, first divide the total degrees by 360 (the number of degrees in a full circle). 22,550 divided by 360 is 62 with a remainder of 230, which is the number of degrees beyond 62 full circles contained in 22,550°. Multiply 230 by 0.0175 to get the radians in one partial circle.
  • Question
    What if the degree is negative?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    That just means the angle is being measured in a counter-clockwise direction, but the size of the angle (whether measured in degrees or radians) is the same as if it were positive.
  • Question
    How do I calculate 90 degrees into radians?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    Since 90° is ¼ of a circle, it's also ¼ of 2π radians, or (π/2) radians.
  • Question
    Why is pi assumed 22/7?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    Because sometimes a fraction is easier to work with than a decimal is, and 22/7 is the fraction that most closely approximates the value of pi.
  • Question
    How do I find the degree measure of 3 pi radian?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    Multiply each π radian by 180°. 3 x 180° = 540°. That's 1½ full circles, which for practical purposes is equivalent to one half-circle.
  • Question
    What is 48 degrees converted to radians?
    Community Answer
    48° × π/180 = 0.8378 rad.
  • Question
    What is 1 degree converted to radians?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    (1°)(π radians / 180°) = 3.14 radians / 180 = 0.0174 radian.
  • Question
    How do I express 48 radians in degrees?
    Community Answer
    Multiply 48 radians by (180 / pi). 180 / pi = 180 / 3.14159, which equals 57.3). (48)(57.3) = 2750.67 degrees.
  • Question
    Convert 450 degrees to radians
    I_l1ke_gam3s
    Community Answer
    450 x pi/180 = 45 x pi /18 = 5 x pi/2 = 5(3.14)/2. (3.14 is pi to 2 decimal places, it is irrational) = 7.85 radians.
  • Question
    Convert the angle zero equals 345° to radians?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    You're referring to the angle Θ ("theta"), which in this case is 345°. (345°)(π/ 180°) = 1.92 radians.
  • Question
    How to convert degrees with decimal places to radians?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    The process remains the same, although the numbers may be more awkward. You still reduce the fraction to simplest terms. For example, while 120° converts to (2π/3) radians, 120.5° converts to (120.5π/180) = (241π/360) radians.
  • Question
    How to convert from degree to minutes and vice versa with examples?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    Multiply the number of degrees by 60 to get the number of minutes. Divide the number of minutes by 60 to get the number of degrees. Thus, there are 120 minutes in 2 degrees, and there are 5 degrees in 300 minutes.

  • Question
    What is 205 degrees in radian form?
    Linnie
    Top Answerer
    To convert 205° to radians, multiply 205° by 2π/180°. The answer is approximately 7.15 radians.
  • Question
    How do I convert 70 degrees to radians?
    Linnie
    Top Answerer
    Multiply 70 degrees by π/180 degrees. The degrees cancel, so you are left with 70/180 x π, or 7π/18.

  • Question
    A circle has a diameter of 14 mm. How many radians (approximately) has this complete circle?
    Community Answer
    A circle always has exactly 2pi radians. If you want the measure of its perimeter in milllimetres, then just note that 1 radian is half the diameter or 7mm, so 2pi radians is 2(3.14)(7mm) or thereabouts depending on what approximation you use for pi.
  • Question
    How do I convert a number with pi into radians?
    Community Answer
    1 degree =π/180 radians, so if we suppose a number with π is'4π' then (4π)degree=(4π).π/180, by simplifying this equation we will get: π.π/45=22/7.22/7/45→(3.14).3.14/45=0.21950.
