Answer:


\begin{array} \cline{1-2}\text{Degrees} & \text{Radians}\\\cline{1-2}0 & 0\\\cline{1-2}90 & \pi/2\\\cline{1-2}180 & \pi\\\cline{1-2}270 & 3\pi/2\\\cline{1-2}360 & 2\pi\\\cline{1-2}\end{array}

====================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

pi radians = 180 degrees by definition

Divide both sides in half

pi/2 radians = 90 degrees

Then multiply both sides by 3

3pi/2 radians = 270 degrees

And finally, we can double both sides of the original equation to get

2pi radians = 360 degrees

As a summary:

  • 0 degrees = 0 radians
  • 90 degrees = pi/2 radians
  • 180 degrees = pi radians
  • 270 degrees = 3pi/2 radians
  • 360 degrees = 2pi radians

If you are struggling to remember these radian values, then one helpful memorization trick is to convert each fraction to have a denominator of 2.

  • 0 = 0pi/2
  • pi/2 = 1pi/2
  • pi = 2pi/2
  • 3pi/2 = 3pi/2
  • 2pi = 4pi/2

The numerators of those right-hand-side fractions are: 0pi, 1pi, 2pi, 3pi, and 4pi.

Extra notes:

  • You can use word "pi" or the symbol
    \pi
  • Something like
    \pi/2 is the same as
    (\pi)/(2)
  • WolframAlpha is an online tool to help check the answers. A unit circle chart is also a good choice.
