Study Notes
Degrees to Radians
- Conversion Formula: Radians = Degrees × (π / 180)
- Examples:
- 0° = 0 radians
- 30° = π/6 radians
- 45° = π/4 radians
- 60° = π/3 radians
- 90° = π/2 radians
- 180° = π radians
- 360° = 2π radians
Radians to Degrees
- Conversion Formula: Degrees = Radians × (180 / π)
- Examples:
- 0 radians = 0°
- π/6 radians ≈ 30°
- π/4 radians ≈ 45°
- π/3 radians ≈ 60°
- π/2 radians = 90°
- π radians = 180°
- 2π radians = 360°
Key Notes
- Half-turn: 180° equals π radians.
- Full turn: 360° equals 2π radians.
- Common Angles: Memorize common angle conversions for quick reference.
- Applications: Widely used in trigonometry, calculus, and physics to define angles in circular motion and wave functions.
Degrees to Radians
- Convert degrees to radians by multiplying by π/180.
- 0° = 0 radians, 30° = π/6 radians, 45° = π/4 radians, 60° = π/3 radians, 90° = π/2 radians, 180° = π radians, 360° = 2π radians.
Radians to Degrees
- Convert radians to degrees by multiplying by 180/π.
- 0 radians = 0°, π/6 radians ≈ 30°, π/4 radians ≈ 45°, π/3 radians ≈ 60°, π/2 radians = 90°, π radians = 180°, 2π radians = 360°.
Key Notes
- A half turn, or 180°, is equivalent to π radians.
- A full turn, or 360°, is equivalent to 2π radians.
- Familiarize yourself with common angle conversions for efficient calculations.
- Radian measure is fundamental in trigonometry, calculus, and physics, particularly in describing circular motion and wave functions.
