Question

Convert 62 degrees to radians. Write you answer as a decimal. Round to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

ANSWER

$1.08\text{ radians}$

EXPLANATION

We want to convert 62 degrees to radians.

To do that, we multiply the angle in degrees by:

$\frac{\pi}{180}$

Therefore, we have:

$\begin{gathered} 62\cdot\frac{\pi}{180} \\ 0.3444\cdot\pi \end{gathered}$

Using π = 3.14, we have:

$\begin{gathered} 0.3444\cdot3.14 \\ \Rightarrow1.08156 \\ \approx1.08\text{ radians} \end{gathered}$

That is 62 degrees in radians.
