Convert the angle in degrees to radians. Express your answer as a multiple of π.

25°

I did this...
[tex] \frac{25}{} * \frac{ \pi radian}{180} = 0.436[/tex]
But my online homework says it's incorrect...

Respuesta :

Converting 25 degrees to radians:

180° = π radians.

1° =  π/180  radians.

25° =  (π/180  radians) * 25

       =    (25/180) * π  radians.

Leaving the answer in terms of π,  25/180 = 5/36

=    (25/180) * π  radians = (5/36)π  radians  or ≈ 0.1389π radians.


Therefore 25° = (5/36)π  radians  or ≈ 0.1389π radians

I hope this explains it.

I think why you did not get it was because you did not leave your answer in terms of π or as a multiple of π, so as a multiple of π our answer is:

= (5/36)π  radians  or ≈ 0.1389π radians
