Convert each degree measure to radians. Leave answers as multiples of π. See Examples 1(a) and 1(b). 450°

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Recall the formula to convert degrees to radians: \(\text{radians} = \text{degrees} \times \frac{\pi}{180}\).

Substitute the given degree measure into the formula: \(450^\circ \times \frac{\pi}{180}\).

Simplify the fraction \(\frac{450}{180}\) by dividing numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor.

Express the simplified fraction multiplied by \(\pi\) to write the answer as a multiple of \(\pi\).

Write the final answer in the form \(k\pi\), where \(k\) is the simplified fraction obtained in the previous step.
