Problem 31
Question
Convert each angle in degrees to radians. Round to two decimal places. $$-40^{\circ}$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The angle -40\(^{\circ}\) is approximately -0.70 radians when converted and rounded to two decimal places.
1Step 1: Identify the conversion factor
The conversion factor from degrees to radians is \(\frac{\pi}{180}\). This means that each degree is equivalent to \(\frac{\pi}{180}\) radians.
2Step 2: Perform the conversion
Multiply -40 by the conversion factor \(\frac{\pi}{180}\) to convert the angle to radians. This gives you \(-40*\frac{\pi}{180}\).
3Step 3: Simplify the Expression
Simplify the expression to get the final answer. Do not forget to round to two decimal places as indicated in the exercise instruction.
