Q. 118
Question
Do you prefer to measure angles using degrees or radians? Provide justification and a rationale for your choice.
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The preference is for degree measure.
1Step 1. Given Information
The problem asks if I prefer radians or degrees in measuring angles.
2Step 2. Reason for preference
For me, I would prefer to use degrees in measuring angles. My reason is that it is more
specific to use wherein you can provide and exact measurement for the angle. It can also be easy for beginners to understand and know how to look at an angle and measure it. It is much easier to locate angles in degrees in a unit circle and in which quadrant it is located.
