Question

Convert the angle 5 radians to degrees.

Answer 1

Consider the conversion,

`1\text{ rad}=(180)/(\pi)\text{ deg}`

Then the equivalent degree measure of 5 radians is calculated as,

`\begin{gathered} (5\pi)/(3)\text{ rad} \\ =(5\pi)/(3)*1\text{ rad} \\ =(5\pi)/(3)*(180)/(\pi)\text{ deg} \\ =300\text{ deg} \end{gathered}`

Thus, the given angle measure is equivalent to 300 degrees.
