To convert degrees to radians in terms of pi, you can use the formula:
Radians = Degrees × (π / 180)
For example, if you want to convert 60 degrees to radians, you would do the following calculation:
- 60 × (π / 180) = 60π / 180 = π / 3
Thus, 60 degrees is equal to π/3 radians. Similarly, you can apply the same process for any degree measure you wish to convert. This method works because a full circle is 360 degrees, which is equivalent to 2π radians, hence the derived conversion factor of π/180.
