so to go from radians to degrees simply multiply by (180/pi)

zarkam21:

57.3

Vocaloid:

4 * 180/pi = ?

zarkam21:

229.18

Vocaloid:

good, that's it

(important definition to remember: one radian is defined as the angle that makes the arc equal to the radius) with that being said, which two choices do you think might apply?

zarkam21:

A

Vocaloid:

good, anything else?

zarkam21:

b

Vocaloid:

Hm, that's not quite right, arc length/r is only equal to 1 in a very specific circumstance (angle = 1 radian)

zarkam21:

so c

Vocaloid:

good, A+C

Vocaloid:

arc = radius * theta **** important: this only works if the angle is in radians, which it is here

zarkam21:

2.25

Vocaloid:

perfect

ok, so to convert from degrees to DMS (degrees/minutes/seconds) we leave the whole number part alone (42 degrees) then work on the 0.54 part we can multiply 0.54 by 60 to get 32.4, then we take the whole number part as 32 ' (32 minutes) and then multiply that decimal part again by 60 (so .4 * 60 ---> 24 seconds) so 24 seconds would recommend jotting these steps down

zarkam21:

so 24

Vocaloid:

yes

zarkam21:

should I label it like 24 seconds or only 24

Vocaloid:

the '' marks (seconds) are already given in the problem, so just 24

converting from DMS to degrees degrees + (1/60)*minutes + (1/3600)*seconds take your degrees, minutes, and seconds values from the original (32deg 15 min 66 seconds)

zarkam21:

(1/60)*15 + (1/3600)*66= 0.27

Vocaloid:

don't forget to add the original 32 degrees

zarkam21:

59

Vocaloid:

32 + 0.27 = ?

zarkam21:

32.27

Vocaloid:

good, that's your ans

zarkam21:

zarkam21:

A?

Vocaloid:

arc = radius * theta since the angle is in degrees first you need to convert theta to radians first

Vocaloid:

oh yeah I got A too gj

B and D

Vocaloid:

you kinda just have to do the conversions and see which ones are correct

Vocaloid:

I think you're missing at least one

Vocaloid:

also, for B, 180 degrees is pi radians not pi/2 so not B

zarkam21:

C and D

Vocaloid:

30 degrees is pi/6 radians so not D

Vocaloid:

whicheliminateseverything except A + C = your answer

zarkam21:

0.628 radians

Vocaloid:

hundredth, so only 2 decimal places --> 0.63 = your ans

zarkam21:

zarkam21:

C

Vocaloid:

try re-doing the 45 deg to radians conversion

zarkam21:

D

Vocaloid:

good

zarkam21:

zarkam21:

c and b

Vocaloid:

some definitions to go over: acute angle = less than 90 degrees obtuse angle = between 90 and 180 reflex angle = 180-360 with this in mind try re-doing some of your calculations

zarkam21:

A and C

Vocaloid:

D still works (it's equal to 240) so ACD = your answer
