how do i convert 95 degrees to radians?

Question

i have the formula in which you times it by pie divided by 180 but im getting 1.658062789 is this right. By the way this is Trigonometry, any ideas

Answer 1

Yeah that's right.

95π / 180
= 19π / 36
= 1.658

Answer 2

Yes, multiply the number of degrees by π/180 and that gives you the amount in radians. It's more conventional though to leave π as itself instead of trying to express it as a decimal and getting only an approximate answer. So the answer is 95π/180, which is 19π/36.

And it's "pi", not "pie". A "pie" is a round baked dessert, which isn't too helpful for calculations.

Answer 3

As you said,

1 rad = pi/180 deg.

Infact, if you try to calculate how many radians 180 deg are, the 180s cancel each other out, and you get pi, which is correct.

so the quantity you are looking for is (95/180)*pi, which is indeed about 1,658 radians.

It sounds strange, but remember that pi radians is actually about 3.141592 radians. and the figure you get is indeed in that order of magnitude.

Answer 4

360°<------> 2π radians
95° <------> 2π x 95 / 360 radians = 1.66 radians (to 2 dec. places)
You are correct!
You ask for any ideas re Trigonometry. My suggestion would be to keep practising and every thing will fall into place. Don`t give in!

Answer 5

you are right

to convert degrees to radian, multiply by pi/180
to convert radian to degrees, multiply by 180/pi

Answer 6

But, do you know WHY you multiply by pi/180 ?

Answer 7

formula:
Radian = (degree) * (PI)/180

now you have degree = 95, so

radian = (95) * (3.1416)/180
radian = 1.6580

Answer 8

thats right

Answer 9

YOU ARE RIGHT
