Question

How do you convert - \[60\] degrees to radians?

Answer 1

Hint:
In the given question, we have been asked to convert \[60\] degrees to radians. These two measurements are units of plane angle. For solving that, we are going to use the standard form of the degree to radian of conversion.

Complete step by step answer:
We are going convert the degree to radian by using the following formula:
\[1^\circ = \left( {0.01745} \right)Rad\]
Hence, \[60^\circ = \left( {60 \times 0.01745} \right)Rad\]

Thus, \[60^\circ = 1.047\] radians.

Note:
For solving questions of such type, we first write what has been given to us. Then we write down what we have to find. Then we write the formula which connects the two things. We saw that if we have been given two different measurement units whose relation we do not know, we first convert a single standard unit to each of them. Then we just divide the two things with which we will get the direct relation of the two units and then we directly solve it.
