Problem 108
Question
Explain how to convert an angle in radians to degrees.
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
To convert from radians to degrees, multiply the radian value by \(57.296\).
1Step 1: Understand the Conversion Rate
One radian is approximately equal to \(57.296\) degrees. This conversion rate is important to keep in mind when converting radians to degrees.
2Step 2: Setting up the Conversion
Assume that we'd like to convert 'r' radians to degrees. We do this by the formula: \(degrees = r * 57.296\).
3Step 3: Performing the Conversion
Multiply the given radian value 'r' by \(57.296\) to obtain the amount in degrees. If the radian value was given as a variable, then the solution will also be a variable. The new value is the equivalent degree measure.
