Transcript text: Question 2
Convert the angle in radians to degrees.
\[
-\frac{11 \pi}{12}
\]
$-166^{\circ}$
$-164^{\circ}$
$-165^{\circ}$
$-167^{\circ}$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Understand the Problem
We need to convert the angle given in radians, \(-\frac{11 \pi}{12}\), to degrees. We are provided with four multiple-choice options for the degree measure.
Step 2: Conversion Formula
The formula to convert radians to degrees is:
\[
\text{Degrees} = \text{Radians} \times \frac{180}{\pi}
\]
Step 3: Apply the Conversion
Substitute \(-\frac{11 \pi}{12}\) into the conversion formula:
\[
\text{Degrees} = -\frac{11 \pi}{12} \times \frac{180}{\pi}
\]
Step 4: Simplify the Expression
Cancel out \(\pi\) and simplify:
\[
\text{Degrees} = -\frac{11 \times 180}{12}
\]
Calculate the multiplication and division:
\[
\text{Degrees} = -\frac{1980}{12} = -165
\]
Final Answer
The angle in degrees is \(-165^\circ\). Therefore, the correct multiple-choice answer is:
\[
\boxed{-165^\circ}
\]
