Question

Convert the radian measure to degrees. (round to the nearest hundredth when necessary): -5π/8

1) 112.5
2) -111.5
3) -112.5
4) 113

Answer 1

To convert -5π/8 radians to degrees, multiply by the conversion factor of 57.3 degrees per radian. The rounded degree measure is approximately -180.79 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the radian measure to degrees, we can use the conversion factor of 1 radian = 57.3 degrees. In this case, the radian measure is -5π/8. We can multiply this by the conversion factor to get the degree measure:

-5π/8 * 57.3 = -180.79 degrees.

When rounded to the nearest hundredth, the degree measure is approximately -180.79 degrees.
