Radians and Degrees

Overview:
● Know and understand that one revolution(one rotation) around a circle is 2π radians
which is also equivalent to 360 degrees.
● Half a revolution around a circle is π radians which is equivalent to 180 degrees.
● To find the degrees per radian, take π radians=180 degrees and divide both sides by π,

you will get


● To find radians per degree, simply take π radians= 180 degrees and divide both sides by

180 degrees, you will get



Process:
1. To convert radians to degrees, write out the equation.

- Multiply the radians by


- Cancel out the radians
- Answer should be in degrees
- Simplify for answer

2. To convert degrees to radians, write out the equation.

- Multiply the degrees by


- Cancel out the degrees
- Answer should be in radians
- Simplify for answer

Example:
Convert 195 degrees to radians.
