Problem 657

Convert the angle in degrees to radians.

-19^{\circ}

 

Solution:-

Consider a circle of radius r. A center angle of 1 revolution (360 degree ) will subtend an arc equal to the circumference of the circle. Because the circumference of the circle equals  2\pi r, we see that 360 degree= 2\pi .

Converting from degree to radian can be summarized as follows.

1 degree = \frac{\pi }{180} radian

Now convert the given angle in degree to radian. Use the formula from above to write 1 degree in radians.

-19^{\circ} = -19 * 1 degree

= -19 * \frac{3.1416}{180}radian

\approx -0.33 radian.
