radians and degrees help!
if my answer is incorrect, can someone go through the steps to solve an equation like this?
okay hmm
do u know what a radian is?
yeah my thoughts exactly.. hah i hate this unit. yes i know what a radian is
can u tell me your definition of a radian
it is the measure of a central angle that intercepts an arc on the circle
ah okay well, u shud think about it this way
radians is actually telling you how many radius units you passed along the circumference
hmm okay. im following
there are exactly 2pi radius around a circumference
it means if u take the radius of a circle, and begin to place it along the circumference, you can place 2pi of them which is about 6.28 so you can place about 6 and a quarter of its own radius around the circle
