Questions: Convert the angle 5π/4 from radians to degrees. degrees
Transcript text: Convert the angle $\frac{5 \pi}{4}$ from radians to degrees. $\square$ degrees
Solution
Solution Steps
To convert an angle from radians to degrees, we use the conversion factor \( \frac{180}{\pi} \). Multiply the given angle in radians by this factor to get the angle in degrees.
Step 1: Given Angle in Radians
The given angle is \( \frac{5\pi}{4} \) radians.
Step 2: Conversion Factor
The conversion factor from radians to degrees is \( \frac{180}{\pi} \).
Step 3: Convert Radians to Degrees
To convert the angle from radians to degrees, multiply the given angle by the conversion factor:
\[
\text{angle\_degrees} = \left( \frac{5\pi}{4} \right) \times \left( \frac{180}{\pi} \right)
\]
Step 4: Simplify the Expression
Simplify the expression by canceling out \( \pi \):
\[
\text{angle\_degrees} = \left( \frac{5 \times 180}{4} \right) = 225.0
\]
