An angle measures $2.44$ radians. What is the degree measure of the angle?

• A. $140°$
• B. $2.44°$
• C. $439.6°$
• D. $280°$

Answer: (A)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Recall the relationship between radians and degrees: \$1 \text{ radian} = \frac{180}{\pi} \text{ degrees}$.
2. To convert an angle from radians to degrees, multiply the radian measure by \(\frac{180}{\pi}\).
3. Set up the conversion for the given angle: \$2.44 \times \frac{180}{\pi}$ degrees.
4. Calculate the value of \(\frac{180}{\pi}\) using an approximate value for \(\pi\) (about 3.1416) to get a decimal multiplier.
5. Multiply 2.44 by this decimal multiplier to find the degree measure of the angle.
