Question

Convert the degree measurement to radians. Express answer as multiple of
$\pi = - 60 \: degrees$


​

Answer 1

Given:

The given degree measurement is -60 degrees.

To find:

The radian measure of the given degree measure.

Solution:

We know that,

$\text{Radian measure}=\text{Degree measure}\times \dfrac{\pi}{180^\circ}$

The radian measure of -60 degrees.

$\text{Radian measure}=-60^\circ \times \dfrac{\pi}{180^\circ}$

$\text{Radian measure}=-\dfrac{\pi}{3}$

Therefore, the radian measure of the given degree measure is $-\dfrac{\pi}{3}$.
