Question

Convert the angle \theta=260^\circθ=260

Answer 1

Question:

Convert the angle θ=260° to radians.

Express your answer exactly.

θ = ___ radians

Answer:

260° = 13π/9 or 4.54 rad

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

θ=260°

Required

Convert from degree to radians

To convert an angle in degrees to radians, we simply follow the steps below.

1° = 1 * π/180 rad

Replace the 1° with x

So,

x° = x * π/180 rad.

Now, we assume that x = 260

This means that we substitute 260 for x. This gives

260° = 260 * π/180

260° = 260π/180

Divide numerator and denominator by 20

260° = 13π/9

We can leave the answer in this form or solve further.

Take π as 22/7. This gives

260° = 13/9 * 22/7

260° = 286/63

260° = 4.5396825397

260° = 4.54 rad (Approximated)
