lol yeah but I still get 0.18... so is that the degree?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
is your calc in degrees or radians?
14 years ago
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
.018001 is radians

hartnn (hartnn):
that 0.018 is in radian
to convert it to degree
multiply by 180/pi

oh lol its on radians so i just switch it to degrees?
14 years ago
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
yes
or
degrees = radians * pi/180

same as hartnn

OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay let me try it again

OpenStudy (anonymous):
i still got the same thing i got earlier you guys are doing .18 and not .018 right?
14 years ago
hartnn (hartnn):
we ARE doing 0.018
because that the answer in radians.

OOOOOOOHHHH okay!

OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay nevermind i still lost i think my calc is broken or i ain't typing it right but in radians I got 0.180986451246 so how you guys getting .018

hartnn (hartnn):
our calcy gave us 0.018 and thats correct because for small angles in radians
sin x= x

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
correct, well aprx. hand wave and its all good

okay hey can you explain real quick though how sinx= x cuz i just can't feel good about my answer (even if it's right) if i don't understand how it works

do u know limits?

i can approximate the sin x curve for small angle with a line that has 45 degrees with horizontal,hence x and y co-ordinates are same.
so sin x = x for small angles.
