Capitolo 4, Problema 45

Convert each degree measure to radians. If applicable, round to the nearest thousandth. See Example 1(c).
39°

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 degree measure into the formula: \(39^\circ \times \frac{\pi}{180}\).
Simplify the fraction \(\frac{39}{180}\) by dividing numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor.
Express the result as a multiple of \(\pi\), for example, \(\frac{39}{180} \pi\) or its simplified form.
If a decimal approximation is needed, multiply the simplified fraction by the approximate value of \(\pi \approx 3.1416\) and round to the nearest thousandth.

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 calculations.

Use of π in Radian Measures

Radians are often expressed in terms of π to maintain exact values. For example, 180° equals π radians. Understanding how to represent angles using π helps in simplifying trigonometric expressions and solving problems accurately.

Rounding to the Nearest Thousandth

When converting degrees to radians, the result may be an irrational number. Rounding to the nearest thousandth means limiting the decimal places to three digits, which balances precision and simplicity for practical use.
