The measurement of a central angle is 75. Find the measurement of in radians
Question
Answer:
Circumference = 360 degrees Circumference = 2π radians (comes from 2*pi*radius)
Therefore
360 deg. = 2*π radians
180 deg. = π radians
1 deg. = (π/180) radians
75 deg. = 75(π/180) radians
75 deg. = 75π / 180 radians
don't bother to try and simplify π (it is an irrational number)
however you can simplify 75/180
both are divisible by 5
75π/180 = 15π/36
both are divisible by 3
75 deg. = 5π/12 radians
We normally don't bother to go further, unless you actually need it as a decimal fraction (in which case, you will have an approximation)
75 deg. ≈ 1.308997 radians
