Angle Conversions Radius
1. Express the angle in radian measure as a multiple of $\pi$ radians.
Recall that $180^\circ = \pi$ radians.
(a) $30^\circ = \frac{30}{180} \pi = \frac{1}{6} \pi$
(b) $60^\circ = \frac{60}{180} \pi = \frac{1}{3} \pi$
(c) $180^\circ = \pi$
(d) $225^\circ = \frac{225}{180} \pi = \frac{5}{4} \pi$
(e) $720^\circ = \frac{720}{180} \pi = 4 \pi$
(f) $270^\circ = \frac{270}{180} \pi = \frac{3}{2} \pi$
2. Solve for the value of the following angles in degrees.
Recall that $1$ radian $= \frac{180}{\pi}$ degrees.
(a) $3$ radians $= 3 \times \frac{180}{\pi} = \frac{540}{\pi} \approx 171.89^\circ$
(b) $1.5$ radians $= 1.5 \times \frac{180}{\pi} = \frac{270}{\pi} \approx 85.94^\circ$
(c) $4.32$ radians $= 4.32 \times \frac{180}{\pi} = \frac{777.6}{\pi} \approx 248.01^\circ$
3. Find the radius of a circle if its circumference is 360 cm.
Recall circumference formula: $C = 2 \pi r$
Given $C = 360$, solve for $r$:
$$r = \frac{C}{2 \pi} = \frac{360}{2 \pi} = \frac{180}{\pi} \approx 57.30 \text{ cm}$$
\boxed{\text{Radius } r \approx 57.30 \text{ cm}}
