Example Questions

Example Question #602 : New Sat

Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.

Convert 3 radians to degrees:

Possible Answers:

$85.944^{\circ}$

$.052^{\circ}$

$60\pi$

$343.775^{\circ}$

$171.887^{\circ}$

Correct answer:

$171.887^{\circ}$

Explanation:

We know that:

$360^{\circ}=2\pi$ Radians

since the giving angle was in radians then we multiply

$3*\frac{180}{\pi}= 171.887^{\circ}$

Example Question #611 : New Sat

What is the value in degrees of the following?

$\theta=\frac{26\pi}{5}$

Possible Answers:

$\theta=400\degree$

$\theta=800\degree$

$\theta=936\degree$

$\theta=960\degree$

Correct answer:

$\theta=936\degree$

Explanation:

To convert from radians to degrees, you must multiply by $\frac{180\degree}{\pi}$ .

The pi units will cancel out, leaving you with degrees.

Plugging into a calculator, you obtain

$\frac{26\pi}{5}\cdot \frac{180\degree}{\pi}$

$\theta=936\degree$ .

Example Question #612 : New Sat

Convert $\frac{11\pi}{5}$ into degrees.

Possible Answers:

$396\degree$

$300\degree$

$400\degree$

$395\degree$

Correct answer:

$396\degree$

Explanation:

To convert from radians to degrees, you must multiply the angle by $\frac{180\degree}{\pi}$ to cancel the $\pi$ units.

This will get you

$11\cdot \frac{180\degree}{5}=396^\circ$

Example Question #613 : New Sat

Convert $\frac{2\pi}{5}$ to degrees:

Possible Answers:

$72^{\circ}$

$36^{\circ}$

$114^{\circ}$

$72\pi$

$\frac{2}{5}^{\circ}$

Correct answer:

$72^{\circ}$

Explanation:

To convert radians to degrees, we need to multiply the given radians by $\frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}$ .

$\frac{2\pi}{5}*\frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}=\frac{360^{\circ}}{5}=72^{\circ}$

Example Question #612 : New Sat

Give your answer in terms of $\pi$ .

Convert $165^{\circ}$ to radians:

Possible Answers:

$\frac{\pi}{12}$

$\frac{12\pi}{11}$

$\frac{11\pi}{24}$

$\frac{11\pi}{12}$

$\frac{11\pi}{6}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{11\pi}{12}$

Explanation:

To convert degrees to radians, we need to multiply the given degree by $\frac{\pi}{180^{\circ}}$ .

$165*^{\circ}\frac{\pi}{180^{\circ}}=\frac{165\pi}{180}$

To simplify, we get:

$\frac{11\pi}{12}$

Example Question #51 : Radians

Convert $52^{\circ}$ to radians.

Possible Answers:

$\tfrac{17}{12}\pi$

$\tfrac{13}{45}\pi$

$\frac{\pi}{5}$

$\frac{\pi}{2}$

$\frac{2\pi}{3}$

Correct answer:

$\tfrac{13}{45}\pi$

Explanation:

To convert between degrees and radians, multiply by $\frac{\pi }{180^{\circ}}$ or $\frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}$ .

Since we start in degrees, we use $\frac{\pi }{180^{\circ}}$ :

$\frac{52^{\circ}}{1}\times\frac{\pi}{180^{\circ}}=\frac{52}{180}\pi$

which simplifies to $\tfrac{13}{45}\pi$ .

Example Question #27 : Radians

Convert $\frac{7\pi}{4}$ radians into degrees.

Possible Answers:

$225^{\circ}$

$345^{\circ}$

$285^{\circ}$

$270^{\circ}$

$315^{\circ}$

Correct answer:

$315^{\circ}$

Explanation:

Recall the definition of "radians" derived from the unit circle:

$180^{\circ} = \pi rad$

The quantity of radians given in the problem is $\frac{7\pi}{4}$ . All that is required to convert this measure into degrees is to denote the unknown angle measure in degrees by $\Theta$ and set up a proportion equation using the aforementioned definition relating radians to degrees:

$\frac{180^{\circ}}{\Theta} = \frac{\pi rad}{\frac{7\pi}{4} rad}$

Cross-multiply the denominators in these fractions to obtain:

$1260^{\circ}\pi rad=4\Theta\pi rad$

$315^{\circ}\pi rad =\Theta\pi rad$ .

Canceling like terms in these equations yields

$\Theta = 315^{\circ}$

Hence, the correct angle measure of $\frac{7\pi}{4}$ in degrees is $315^{\circ}$ .

Example Question #441 : Trigonometry

What are the ways to write 360^o and 720^o in radians?

Possible Answers:

$\small \frac{\pi}{2},\pi$

$\small \frac{\pi}{4},\frac{\pi}{2}$

$\small \pi,2\pi$

$\small 2\pi,4\pi$

$\small \small 0,\pi$

Correct answer:

$\small 2\pi,4\pi$

Explanation:

$\small 360^o=2\pi$ on the unit circle.

$\small \small \small 720^o=4\pi$ on the unit circle.

Example Question #2 : Angles In The Unit Circle

Which of the following is not an angle in the unit circle?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{2\pi}{3}$

$\frac{\pi}{5}$

$\frac{5\pi}{6}$

$\pi$

$\frac{3\pi}{4}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{\pi}{5}$

Explanation:

The unit circle is in two increments: $\frac{\pi}{6}$ : $(\frac{\pi}{6},\frac{2\pi}{6},\frac{3\pi}{6})$ , etc. and $\frac{\pi}{4}$ : $(\frac{\pi}{4},\frac{2\pi}{4},\frac{3\pi}{4})$ , etc. The only answer choice that is not a multiple of either $\frac{\pi}{6}$ or $\frac{\pi}{4}$ is $\frac{\pi}{5}$ .

Example Question #2 : Angles In The Unit Circle

What is the equivalent of $72^{\circ}$ , in radians?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{2\pi }{5}$

$\frac{\pi }{10}$

$\frac{2\pi}{10}$

$\pi$

$\frac{\pi }{5}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{2\pi }{5}$

Explanation:

To convert from degrees to radians, use the equality

$2\pi = 360^{\circ}$ or $\pi = 180^{\circ}$ .

From here we use $\frac{\pi}{180^{\circ}}$ as a unit multiplier to convert our degrees into radians.

$\left (72^{\circ} \right )\left ( \frac{\pi }{180^{\circ}} \right ) = \frac{2\pi}{5}$
