Question

Convert the degree measurement to radians. Express answer as multiple of


`\pi = - 60 \: degrees`


​

Answer 1

Given:

The given degree measurement is -60 degrees.

To find:

The radian measure of the given degree measure.

Solution:

We know that,

`\text{Radian measure}=\text{Degree measure}* (\pi)/(180^\circ)`

The radian measure of -60 degrees.

`\text{Radian measure}=-60^\circ * (\pi)/(180^\circ)`

`\text{Radian measure}=-(\pi)/(3)`

Therefore, the radian measure of the given degree measure is
`-(\pi)/(3)`.
