Question

Convert the angle 285° from degrees to radians. Enter your answer in terms of π.

Answer 1

To convert from degree to radians, we need to multiply the angle in degree by (π/180)

Given the angle in degree = 285°

so, the angle in radians =

`285\degree\cdot(\pi)/(180)=(285)/(180)\pi=(19\cdot15)/(12\cdot15)\pi=(19)/(12)\pi`

so, 285 = (19/12) π
