Capitolo 1, Problema 2

In Exercises 2–4, convert each angle in degrees to radians. Express your answer as a multiple of 𝜋. 15°

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Recall the formula to convert degrees to radians: \(\text{radians} = \text{degrees} \times \frac{\pi}{180}\).
Substitute the given angle in degrees (15°) into the formula: \(15 \times \frac{\pi}{180}\).
Simplify the fraction \(\frac{15}{180}\) by dividing numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 15.
After simplification, express the result as a multiple of \(\pi\) in the form \(\frac{1}{12} \pi\).
Write the final answer as \(\frac{\pi}{12}\) radians.
