Introduction:

Converting radians to degrees is a mathematical operation used in geometry, trigonometry, and other scientific fields. It allows angles measured in radians to be expressed in degrees.



Understanding Radians and Degrees:



Radians and degrees are both units used to measure angles.

One complete revolution around a circle is 360 degrees or 2π radians.

Formula for Conversion:



The conversion from radians to degrees is done using the formula: degrees = radians × (180 / π), where π (Pi) is approximately 3.14159.

Example:



To convert π/2 radians to degrees:

(π/2) × (180 / π) = 180/2 = 90 degrees.

So, π/2 radians is equal to 90 degrees.

Key Points to Remember:



180 degrees is equivalent to π radians.

This conversion is frequently used in trigonometry, calculus, and various applications involving angle measurements.
