Which is a greater angle of rotation? 720° or 6π radians? Explain how you know.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
It's hard to compare degrees and radians, so we should convert, then compare.
To convert radians to degrees, we multiply by 180 over pi. This way, the pi will cancel out when dividing.
6π radians is equal to 1080 degrees, which is much larger than 720 degrees, so it is the greater angle of rotation.

<h3>How to find a missing angle by triangle properties</h3>
Triangles are <em>geometrical</em> figures formed by three sides and whose sum of <em>internal</em> angles equals 180°. There are two kind of triangles existing in this question: (i) <em>Right</em> triangles, (ii) <em>Isosceles</em> triangles.
<em>Right</em> triangles are triangles which one of its angles equals 90° and <em>isosceles</em> triangles are triangles which two of its sides have <em>equal</em> measures.
According to the statement, we know that triangle BQR is an <em>isosceles</em> triangle, whereas triangles ABC, ANB and NBC are <em>right</em> triangles. Based on the figure attached below, we have the following system of <em>linear</em> equations based on <em>right</em> triangles ABC and NBC:
<em>2 · x + 90 + θ = 180</em> (1)
<em>(90 - x) + 90 + θ = 180</em> (2)
By equalizing (1) and (2) we solve the system for <em>x</em>:
<em>2 · x = 90 - x</em>
<em>3 · x = 90</em>
<em>x = 30</em>
And by (1) we solve the system for <em>θ</em>:
<em>θ = 180 - 2 · x - 90</em>
<em>θ = 30</em>
