Capitolo 1, Problema 4

In Exercises 2–4, convert each angle in degrees to radians. Express your answer as a multiple of 𝜋. 315°

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 315° into the formula: \(315 \times \frac{\pi}{180}\).
Simplify the fraction \(\frac{315}{180}\) by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 315 and 180.
Divide both numerator and denominator by the GCD to reduce the fraction to its simplest form.
Express the final answer as a multiple of \(\pi\) using the simplified fraction.

Degree to Radian Conversion

Degrees and radians are two units for measuring angles. To convert degrees to radians, multiply the degree measure by π/180. This conversion is essential because radians are the standard unit in many trigonometric applications.
