Question

anonymous · Answer

The answer is π/5. I want to know how this is the answer.

lgbasallote · Answer

multiply by pi/180

$$\huge 36^o \times \frac{\pi}{180^o } \implies \cancel{36^o} \times \frac{\pi}{\cancel{180^o }_5} \implies \frac \pi 5$$
does that help?

btw...if you're wondering...when you want to convert degrees into radians..you ALWAYS multiply the given degree by pi/180
