Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Recall the conversion formula between radians and degrees: \(\text{degrees} = \text{radians} \times \dfrac{180}{\pi}\).
Multiply the given radian measure, \(-5.01095\), by \(\dfrac{180}{\pi}\) to convert it to degrees: \(-5.01095 \times \dfrac{180}{\pi}\).
Calculate the decimal degree value from the multiplication (do not round yet).
Separate the decimal degree value into its whole number part (degrees) and the fractional part.
Convert the fractional part of the degrees into minutes by multiplying it by 60, then round to the nearest whole minute.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Radian to Degree Conversion

Radians and degrees are two units for measuring angles. To convert radians to degrees, multiply the radian measure by 180/π. This conversion is essential because degrees are often easier to interpret and are commonly used in practical applications.

Degree, Minutes, and Seconds

Degrees can be subdivided into minutes and seconds, where 1 degree equals 60 minutes and 1 minute equals 60 seconds. Writing answers to the nearest minute means converting the decimal part of degrees into minutes by multiplying by 60 and rounding appropriately.
