how can i convert radians to degrees?
there are 360 degrees in a circle
there are 2 pi radians in a circle
therefore:
multiply radians by (180 deg/pi radians)
to get degrees :)
thanks
You are welcome.
To convert radians to degrees, you can use the following formula:
degrees = radians * (180 / π)
Here's a step-by-step explanation of how to convert radians to degrees:
1. Obtain the value of the angle in radians that you want to convert.
2. Multiply the value of the angle in radians by the conversion factor (180 divided by π). The conversion factor, (180 / π), represents the number of degrees in a full circle, where there are 180 degrees in half a circle, 90 degrees in a quarter circle, and so on.
3. The result will be the equivalent angle in degrees.
Let's work through an example:
Suppose you want to convert an angle of 2 radians to degrees.
degrees = 2 * (180 / π)
Substituting the value of π as approximately 3.14159:
degrees = 2 * (180 / 3.14159)
Simplifying the calculation:
degrees = 2 * (57.29578)
degrees ≈ 114.59156
Therefore, 2 radians is approximately equal to 114.59 degrees.
