Unit circle angle help?

\[\Large\rm -\frac{6\pi}{12}=-\frac{\pi}{2}\]Do you remember how far to spin for pi/2? :)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

For -7pi/12, you'll need to spin a tiny bit further.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@zepdrix I don't quite follow

OpenStudy (sepeario):

Do you know how to work out radians?

OpenStudy (sepeario):

Oh and nice picture http://www.fanpop.com/clubs/emo-girls/images/7443226/title/pretty-emo-girl-photo

zepdrix (zepdrix):

What are you confused about? :)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

7pi/12 is like uhhhh... around 100 degrees. Do you understand how far a 100 degree spin in the opposite direction will look?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@zepdrix I think you might have to clear out the conversion between radians and degrees first, I feel like @JoeJoldin is confused about that. :)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Joe Joeeeee, where you at girl? :3

2pi rad = 360 deg pi rad = 180 deg pi/2 rad = 90 deg pi/3 rad = 60 deg pi/4 rad = 45 deg pi/6 rad = 30 deg

Okay idk if this will work out but here goes my explanation in this equation our S means arc length |dw:1431594112401:dw| \[S = \theta* r\] \[\theta = \frac{ S }{ r }\] so..if we were to consider the whole circle as our arc like this: |dw:1431594353764:dw| thats gonna be: \[\theta = \frac{ 2\pi r }{ r } = 2 \pi \] which means \[2\pi = 360°\]
