Convert from degrees to radians

", "licence": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International"}, "statement": "

Please convert the following angles from degrees to radians.

Note: to enter the value $\\pi$ simply type pi. For example, $\\frac{3\\pi}{2}$ could be entered as 3*pi/2 or even as 3pi/2

$180^\\circ$ is equal to $\\pi$ radians. This means for each $180^\\circ$ we can replace it with $\\pi$ radians. To determine how many $180^\\circ$s are in an angle, we divide the angle by $180^\\circ$. In other words, to convert from degrees to radians we divide by $180^\\circ$ and multiply by $\\pi$ radians.

For example, $\\displaystyle 72^\\circ=\\frac{72^\\circ}{180^\\circ}\\times \\pi=\\frac{2\\pi}{5}$.

It is useful to memorise some of the very common angles, for example, $30^\\circ=\\displaystyle \\frac{\\pi}{6},\\, 45^\\circ=\\frac{\\pi}{4},\\, 60^\\circ=\\frac{\\pi}{3}, \\,90^\\circ=\\frac{\\pi}{2}, \\,180^\\circ=\\pi$ and $360^\\circ=2\\pi$.

Recall that $180^\\circ$ is equal to $\\pi$ radians. Alternatively, recall that $360^\\circ$ is equal to $2\\pi$ radians and then halve those angles.

Recall that $360^\\circ$ is equal to $2\\pi$ radians. Alternatively, recall that $180^\\circ$ is equal to $\\pi$ radians radians and then double those angles.

$\\var{med}^\\circ=$ [[0]] radians

Ultimately, it is beneficial to memorise that

$30^\\circ=\\dfrac{\\pi}{6}\\text{ radians}$

$45^\\circ=\\dfrac{\\pi}{4}\\text{ radians}$

$60^\\circ=\\dfrac{\\pi}{3}\\text{ radians}$

$90^\\circ=\\dfrac{\\pi}{2}\\text{ radians}$

Otherwise, recall each $180^\\circ$ is equal to $\\pi$ radians. So to convert from degrees to radians we find out how many $180^\\circ$s fit into our angle and then multiply by $\\pi$ radians, we can do this in one step by multiplying by $\\dfrac{\\pi}{180^\\circ}$:

\\begin{align}\\var{med}^\\circ&=\\var{med}^\\circ\\times\\frac{\\pi}{180^\\circ}\\text{ radians}\\\\&=\\frac{\\pi}{\\var{medansden}}\\text{ radians}.\\end{align}
