Q1EXERCISE 3.1

Find the radian measures corresponding to the following degree measures:

(i)

25°

(ii)

-47° 30'

(iii)

240°

(iv)

520°

Solution

We know that 180° = π radian. Therefore, to convert degrees to radians, we multiply the degree measure by π/180.
(i) 25°
Radian measure = 25 × (π/180) = 5π/36
(ii) -47° 30'
First, we convert 30' to degrees. Since 60' = 1°, 30' = (30/60)° = 0.5°. So, -47° 30' = -(47 + 0.5)° = -47.5° = -95/2 degrees.
Radian measure = (-95/2) × (π/180) = -19π/72
(iii) 240°
Radian measure = 240 × (π/180) = 4π/3
(iv) 520°
Radian measure = 520 × (π/180) = 26π/9
