Knowledge of converter

The natural unit of measurement angle is radians, this is the formula for calculating the circumference of a circle

c = 2 π × r;
"r" is the radius of the circle, if "r"=1 ,then c=2π;

so the radian is defined such that a circle has 2 π radians. It also has 360 degrees.

How to convert degrees to radians

  1. 1 radian = 360 / 2 π = 180 / π =57.295779513082320876798154814106 degrees

  2. 1 degree = 0.017453292519943295769236907684886 radians

  3. 1 arcmin = 0.000290888208665722 radians

  4. 1 arcsec = 0.00000484813681109536 radians.

We get : radians = degrees × π / 180°

Example

Example

Convert 50 degrees angle to radians:

radians = degrees × π / 180° = 50° x 3.14159 / 180° = 0.87267 rad
