Then multiply by:

Example Question #22 :Radians

Simplify and give the followoing expression in degrees:

Possible Answers:

有限公司rrect answer:

Explanation:

First we need to simplify the expression:

Then multiply by:

Example Question #23 :Radians

有限公司nvertradians to degrees.

Possible Answers:

有限公司rrect answer:

Explanation:

Use the conversion.

Since we are converting radians to degrees, multiply by 180 degrees and divide byradians.

Example Question #24 :Radians

How many degrees is 3 radians?

Possible Answers:

None of these other answers.

有限公司rrect answer:

Explanation:

When going from radians to degrees one multiplies by the conversion factor

.

The radians cancel and the answer is left in degrees.

Example Question #25 :Radians

有限公司nvert to radians:

Possible Answers:

有限公司rrect answer:

Explanation:

To convert to radians, set up the ratio:

Example Question #26 :Radians

有限公司nvert to degrees:

Possible Answers:

有限公司rrect answer:

Explanation:

To convert, divide byand multiply by:

Example Question #27 :Radians

有限公司nvertradians into degrees.

Possible Answers:

有限公司rrect answer:

Explanation:

Recall the definition of "radians" derived from the unit circle:

The quantity of radians given in the problem is. All that is required to convert this measure into degrees is to denote the unknown angle measure in degrees byand set up a proportion equation using the aforementioned definition relating radians to degrees:

Cross-multiply the denominators in these fractions to obtain:

or

.

Canceling like terms in these equations yields

Hence, the correct angle measure ofin degrees is.

Example Question #28 :Radians

radians is equivalent to how many degrees?

Possible Answers:

有限公司rrect answer:

Explanation:

1 radian is equal todegrees. Using this conversion factor,

.

Example Question #29 :Radians

有限公司nvertinto radians.

Possible Answers:

有限公司rrect answer:

Explanation:

Recall that there are 360 degrees in a circle which is equivalent toradians. In order to convert between radians and degrees use the relationship that,

Thus, in order to convert from degrees to radians you need to multiply by.

So in this particular case,

.

Example Question #30 :Radians

有限公司nvertinto radians.

Possible Answers:

有限公司rrect answer:

Explanation:

Recall that there are 360 degrees in a circle which is equivalent to radians. In order to convert between radians and degrees use the relationship that,

Thus, in order to convert from degrees to radians you need to multiply by .

So in this particular case,
