Worked example showing how to convert radians to degrees

Missed the previous lesson?

Trigonometry on Khan Academy: Big, fancy word, right? Don't be fooled. Looking at the prefix, tri-, you could probably assume that trigonometry ("trig" as it's sometimes called) has something to do with triangles. You would be right! Trig is the study of the properties of triangles. Why is it important? It's used in measuring precise distances, particularly in industries like satellite systems and sciences like astronomy. It's not only space, however. Trig is present in architecture and music, too. Now you may wonder...how is knowing the measurement and properties of triangles relevant to music?? THAT is a great question. Maybe you'll learn the answer from us in these tutorials!

so basically... 180/pi ⋅ (insert radians here)

[snoiabug]

Can you explain why pi cancels out at 2:52 ?

[a.m]

why is it that there is negative in a degrees? how will we measure it?

[utraksmey]

Hello !! Sir !!
what is program you for writing this problem? I need that program !!
Tell me please !!

[jozef-aerts-wiskunde]

Degrees are rational ( ex 180 ), but radians are irrational ( because Pi is irrational ).
So how can 180 equal to Pi ??? Because a rational number can never be an irrational number

Why this video is unlisted? Make it public so everybody can access it. :) P.S. Other videos from Khan Academy are public. :)

[Antonio-xqhg]

what if i have 1.9 radians, and i need to calculate the length of an arc

[gks]

You should put only hard questions . These easy question, a child also knows

[dameurbina]

my homework says convert 7.25 radians to degrees can someone help me understand this question? cause every videos confuses me when they throw pi in there

[lifeoftwo]

This didn’t help me at all what about radians that aren’t on the unit circle
