is it 1/2 8^2 θ

OpenStudy (nubeer):

yes change 90 degree in radians.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok thanks

OpenStudy (nubeer):

no problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait do i have to multiply 1/2* 8^2* 90

OpenStudy (nubeer):

yes u have to multiply but not 90.. u have to convert it into radians.. do u know how to convert degree in radians?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i don't know how to convert it

OpenStudy (nubeer):

angle * pi/180
