Solution
Solution Steps
To convert an angle from degrees to radians, we use the formula:
\[ \text{radians} = \text{degrees} \times \frac{\pi}{180} \]
Given the angle is \(60^\circ\), we will substitute 60 into the formula.
Step 1: Convert Degrees to Radians
To convert an angle from degrees to radians, we use the formula:
\[ \text{radians} = \text{degrees} \times \frac{\pi}{180} \]
Given the angle is \(60^\circ\), we substitute 60 into the formula:
\[ 60^\circ \times \frac{\pi}{180} \]
Step 2: Simplify the Expression
Simplify the fraction:
\[ \frac{60 \pi}{180} = \frac{\pi}{3} \]
Step 3: Verify the Result
The calculated value in radians is approximately:
\[ 1.0472 \text{ radians} \]
Final Answer
The angle \(60^\circ\) in radians is:
\[ \boxed{\frac{\pi}{3}} \]
