Question

Convert 60° to radians.

Answer 1

Answer:

1,0472 rad

Step-by-step explanation:

ANGLE MEASURES

Generally two measuring systems are used:

1. The sexagesimal system, whose unit is the degree: º

A sexagesimal degree is the amplitude of the angle resulting from dividing the circumference into 360 equal parts.

2. The radial system whose unit is the radian: rad

A radian is the measure of the center angle of a circle whose arc length coincides with the length of its radius.

CONVERSION OF GRADES TO RADIANS

To convert an angle of degrees to radians or vice versa, what must be done is a rule of three, considering that:

360° = 2π radians

Calculation

(60° * 2π rad) /360° = 1.0472 rad
