Oneofus:

Covert this radian measure to its equivalent degree measure.

Oneofus:

\(m~arc~ZYX\)\(\frac{ \Pi}{ 3 }\)\

Oneofus:

60° 120° 180° 300°

Nnesha:

is it pi/3??

Oneofus:

ye

Nnesha:

\[\frac{ \pi }{ 3}\] ?

Nnesha:

okay to convert it to degree you just have to multiply the given radian by 180/pi

Oneofus:

3*180/3.14? Like that?

Nnesha:

no. Given radian is pi/3 not just 3 :=))

Oneofus:

yeh i got 188 tho /:

Nnesha:

how did you get that ??

Oneofus:

3.14/3*180 is what ive done

Nnesha:

multiply by 180/pi

Nnesha:

\[\theta =\frac{\pi}{3} \cdot \frac{180}{\pi}\]

Oneofus:

so 3*180/3?

Oneofus:

OH I GOT 60

Nnesha:

you don't like pie ?? it's pi/3 not just 3

Oneofus:

i used pi

Nnesha:

good and yes that's correct.

Hero:

BTW, the easiest way to convert \(\dfrac{\pi}{3}\) is to simply change \(\pi\) to \(180\): since the degree measure of \(\pi\) is \(180^{\circ}\): \(\dfrac{\pi}{3}\) --> \(\dfrac{180}{3} = 60\)

Oneofus:

Oh my gosh, this is so understandable now

Oneofus:

Thank you both!!!
