Question

Which is greater, an angle measured at 40° or an angle measured at 0.7 radians? Explain.

Answer 1

0.7 radians

Explanation:

The equation for converting radians to degrees is:

X radians * 180/pi = degrees

Plugging in 0.7 radians,

we have 0.7 * 180/pi

= approx 40.1070457 degrees.

40.1070457 > 40 degrees,

so 0.7 radians is greater than 40 degrees
